LAS VEGAS (AP) — George King scored 17 of his 21 points in the first half, helping Colorado run away from Washington State for an 80-56 victory Wednesday in the opening round of the Pac-12 tournament.
Colorado (22-10) took advantage of Washington State's persistent double teams on Josh Scott, working the ball around for open shots while building a 19-point halftime lead.
King got many of those, shooting 7 of 12 from the field while Scott finished with six points, five rebounds and five assists.
The fifth-seeded Buffaloes move on to meet No.
