The Colorado Buffaloes defeated San Diego 83-75 in an electric matchup Tuesday night, scoring 49 points in the second half alone. With six different Buffs contributing to a season-high 23 assists, led by Barrington Hargress with eight, Colorado secured its second home victory of the season, highlighted by a career night from second-year guard Ian Inman.
Inman, who saw the majority of his production during the second half of the 2025-26 season, scoring 83 of his 91 points in the final 12 games, brought the same energy back to the court against the Toreros. Building on his late-last-season success, the Texas native showed what he has in store for the Buffs early in the regular season slate.
He scored his first points of the night, on a jumper four minutes into the game. As the first half continued, the guard continued to shoot, securing three 3-pointers in less than two minutes to round the first half off with 11 points.
After halftime, he continued to bring the same momentum. Three minutes into the second half Inman tallied an additional 3-pointer and looked to double his total. With energy echoing throughout the building, the rhythm was evident.
As the half went on and the clock ticked down, Inman was on a roll, securing 3-pointer after 3-pointer. The energy from Inman and the entire team was clear as the Buffs recognized a historic performance.
By end of night, Inman recorded a career-high 26 points, including eight 3-pointers, tying him for the 2nd most in single game history, matching Kenny Price who recorded eight vs. Texas Feb. 28, 1998.

"It's amazing what you can do as a group when you come together, and you collectively work together hard in practice," Inman said." I feel like I've done a great job of just practicing, knocking stuff down, but ultimately, the coaching staff does a great job every night trying to put me in the schemes, trying to push me to keep shooting the ball. My teammates do a great job of finding me. I didn't really get off a bunch of off-the-dribble stuff, so catching shooting threes was big for me. And that's a shout-out to Barrington, shout-out to everybody for real, just being able to give me the ball in the right spot. Ultimately, I was able to knock it down."
