Recorded his fourth-straight 20-point game. Had three steals to crack the career Top 20, now in 19th with 105 and passing former Buffalo great Chauncey Billups in the process (104 from 1995-97). Averaging 3.8 steals over the last four games. Inched closer to the 1,000-point club, now with 936 in his career, ranking 43 on CU’s all-time list.
Eddie Lampkin (17 points, 12 rebounds, 7 offensive rebounds) – Third-straight double-double, fourth in a CU uniform and 10th in his collegiate career. New CU-high in points. Fourth double-figure rebounding effort in his last five games, averaging 8.6 rebounds in that span. Collegiate career-high in free throws attempted with 12.
Last time Buffs had to players with a double-double: Jabari Walker (18 pts, 16 reb) and Evan Battey (19 pts, 12 reb) vs. Oregon on Mar. 10, 2022 (Pac-12 Tournament).
Luke O’Brien (11 points, 9 rebounds) – scored in double figure for the fourth consecutive game for the first time in his career, averaging 14.0 ppg during that span. Season-high nine rebounds.
Harrison Carrington – played a career-high 16:33 and grabbed a personal-best three boards
