Coming off a blowout win versus the Air Force Falcons on the road this past Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team hosted the Portland Pilots Wednesday evening at the CU Events Center, hoping to dispatch another non-conference opponent.
While the Pilots certainly kept things close for the majority of the game, the Buffaloes had pulled away by the 10-minute mark of the second half.
Ultimately, Portland was unable to match CU’s energy in the second half; the Buffaloes outscored the pilots in the final 20 minutes, 54-33.
The Buffs only got hotter while the Pilots had trouble making a majority of their shots in the second half; on the night, CU made 48 percent of its baskets, while Portland managed a 43 percent make rate.
