Offensive fireworks continue for CU basketball in rout of South Dakota

The offensive fireworks that have marked the early nonconference play of the Colorado men's basketball team continued Tuesday night.

The Buffaloes put together another high-scoring performance against South Dakota, running away from the Coyotes for an 82-58 win at the CU Events Center. It was the sixth time in seven games the Buffs have scored at least 79 points.

CU improved to 6-1 heading into Saturday's home game against Illinois-Chicago, which will be the Buffs' final home game until Jan. 10.

South Dakota remained within six points with a little more than six minutes remaining in the first half before the Buffs started piling on, outscoring the Coyotes 15-8 the rest of the way in the first half to take a 41-28 lead at the break.
