[ad_1]
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Colorado finally put it together outside the CU Events Center. And the result was a huge nonconference victory for the Buffaloes.
CU used a balanced attack and dominated the second half, running away from No. 15 Miami for a 90-63 win in the NABC Brooklyn Showcase at the Barclays Center.
The Buffs (7-2) led by just one point at halftime, but CU began what turned into a 19-4 run with nine consecutive points to pick up the first win away from home this season.
CU played shorthanded, as standout freshman Cody Williams was sidelined due to a wrist injury. But six Buffs players recorded double-figure points, led by 22 points from Tristan da Silva and 20 from KJ Simpson. Da Silva flirted with a triple-double, also finishing with 10 rebounds and a career-high nine assists.
The Buffs outscored Miami 53-27 in the second half. CU shot 70% after halftime and finished with a .587 mark, the seventh time in nine games the Buffs have shot at least 52%.
