losing streak
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) --- Sebastian Rancik had 17 points, Isaiah Johnson scored
16 and Colorado cruised to an 87-61 victory over TCU on Sunday, snapping a
six-game losing streak.
Rancik came off the bench to sink 6 of 8 shots --- 3 of 4 from 3-point range
--- for the Buffaloes (13-9, 3-6 Big 12 Conference). He added six rebounds and
three assists. Johnson made 5 of 11 shots with three 3-pointers, adding five
assists.
Reserve Bangot Dak scored 14 on 7-for-8 shooting for Colorado. Josiah Sanders
totaled 12 points and six assists, while Barrington Hargress scored 10.
Xavier Edmonds had 13 points and 12 rebounds to pace the Horned Frogs (13-9,
3-6). All four of his double-doubles this season have come in the past four
games.
Colorado made 8 of its first 11 shots and got baskets from seven different
players in the first eight minutes but managed only a 20-17 lead because TCU
came out shooting at a 50% clip --- 6 for 12.
Colorado had the lead over the final 12:15 of the half but didn't push its
advantage past two possessions until Sanders' three-point play made it 30-21
with 4:27 remaining. Sanders and Rancik both had eight points by halftime as
the Buffaloes extended their lead to 38-25. TCU got no closer than 10 after the
break.
Colorado made 35 of 63 shots (56%) to TCU's 33% effort (21 for 63). The Buffs
hit 48% from beyond the arc --- 11 for 23. The Frogs made 5 of 23 from distance
(21.7%).
Colorado finished with 24 assists. TCU had eight assists and made only 15 of 51
shots in the final 32 minutes.
