In what will likely be Colorado men’s basketball’s final regular season game against a ranked opponent, the Buffaloes were once again overwhelmed by the No. 8 Arizona Wildcats.
Colorado turned the ball over 16 times and allowed Arizona to shoot 52.9% from the field en route to a disappointing 99-79 loss — the Buffs’ first at home this season. Including last month’s 97-50 defeat in Tucson, the Wildcats have outscored the Buffs by 67 this season.
Tristan da Silva and KJ Simpson each scored 20 for the Buffs, who led 8-2 early before unraveling.
With the loss, CU fell to 16-8 overall (7-6 Pac-12) with seven regular season games remaining.
