That's the game! #CUBuffs fall to 10-2 after losing to Stanford 77-68. Buffs with a season-high 18 TOVs, shot just 4-of-17 from 3-point range and allowed Ebuka Okorie to go for a Stanford freshman single-game record in scoring, with 32 pts (18-21 FT) in his return from injury.

Rancik 3 makes Stanford lead 71-64. #CUBuffs call TO, then force Stanford TO after deflection and near five-second in the press. 1:36 to go.

#CUBuffs have made it an eight-point game after an Isaiah Johnson 3, CU's first of the half, and some Hargress buckets. But down 69-61 to Stanford with 2:02 to go, it will be tough.

#CUBuffs trail Stanford 65-53 with Okorie heading to the line for his 14th and 15th FTA of the night (2H; 3:54). CU still sub-30% FG with no made 3s in the half, and now up to season-high 15 TOVs.

Things looking rough for the #CUBuffs, who trail Stanford 59-46 despite the Isaiah Johnson and-one (2H; 7:52). Just 4-16 FG with 5 TOVS. Allowed a 10-0 Stanford run, as Okorie is up to 22 pts. Stanford's zone causing a bunch of issues for CU, which is also 2-13 3pt.

Portland State calls TO (2H; 1:08) after the Tidor 3, #CUBuffs lead 80-73. Henderson (23 pts) hobbled to the sideline, looks like with cramps. CU looks to close this out.
