Colorado-Hampton Notes

December 20, 2015 | Men's Basketball

Team

  • This is the first time Colorado hosted home games on consecutive days in over 21 years.  The last year of the Mile High Classic in 1994-95, the Buffs defeated Eastern Washington 87-67 on Dec. 2 and Hofstra 96-77 on Dec. 3.  The Mile High Classic was at the Coors Events Center from 1990-91 to 1994-95.  Prior to that, the last time it had happened was in 1970-71 when the Buffs beat UTEP 78-68 on Dec. 7 and UCSB 61-59 on Dec. 8.
  • The Buffs haven't lost the second game in a two-day home stand since 1951-52.  The Buffs lost to Baylor 54-50 on Dec. 15 after having beat the Bears 47-46 the previous day.
  • CU tied its season high of 95 points. The Buffs scored 95 points earlier in the season against Ft. Lewis.
  • CU's had its largest lead of the season of 42 points. Buffs led UNC by 36 earlier in the season.
  • CU has won 31 of its last 32 non-conference home games in Boulder.
  • Ninth win by 30+ points under Tad Boyle and biggest win since CU beat Northern Arizona in 2012 by 47 points.
  • CU scored 53 points in the second half (3rd half with 50+ this year), equaling Hampton's game total.
  • CU season low six turnovers.
  • CU sixth game with rebounding margin of at least 15+.
