Emotions ran high in No. 24 Colorado’s clash with Stanford Saturday evening in Boulder after sophomore forward Evan Battey collided with Cardinal junior forward Oscar da Silva following a Buffaloes’ fast break. Da Silva appeared to be knocked briefly unconscious following the fall and bled from his head. After the emergency stretcher was brought out initially, da Silva stood up and walked to the locker room with help from the Stanford training and medical staff.
Battey appeared emotionally devastated following the injury and remained so for the remainder of the game. Tears flowed down his face. The junior from View Park, California had to leave the game briefly to try and emotionally reset.
