The Colorado men's basketball team capped its late-season surge in style, topping USC 78-67 Saturday afternoon in an energetic regular-season finale at the CU Events Center.
The Buffaloes pulled away with a late 12-2 run and outscored the Trojans 28-17 the rest of the way after the game was tied 50-50 with 9 minutes, 43 seconds remaining.
After starting 2-6 in Pac-12 Conference play, the Buffs went 8-2 the rest of the way to finish at 10-8 — the program's fifth winning record in eight seasons in the Pac-12. The victory also assures the Buffs of at least the No.
