Colorado couldn't stop Illinois-Chicago all afternoon.
Fortunately for the Buffaloes, however, the Flames couldn't stop CU either.
It wasn't an impressive defensive effort by the Buffs, but CU was efficient enough on offense while forcing 24 turnovers out of UIC in an 84-72 CU victory Saturday in the final nonconference home game at the CU Events Center.
The Buffs never trailed but could never shake the visitors from Chicago, either, as the Flames finished with a .566 mark from the floor. It was the second time in a week the Buffs have managed to win despite allowing the opposition to shoot better than 50 percent, as Colorado State shot .
