CU Comes Back To Beat Utah, 81-76

Down by 11 points with 15:50 left in the game, the Colorado Buffaloes were not in a good place.

But by the end, the Buffs had a good come-from-behind win, 81-76, over the Utah Utes at the CU Events Center.

Jabari Walker got going which certainly helped the Buffs cause. He finished with 22 points and 13 rebounds.

Trailing 49-38, CU started on the comeback trail. A 9-3 run cut Utah's lead to 52-47 with 12:55 to go.

Later, a 9-4 burst pulled the Buffs to within 63-62 at the 6:27 mark.

Walker's layup with 4:08 to go gave the Buffs a 68-67 lead and they would not trail again.

Evan Battey scored 15 points for CU, which had all five starters in double figures.

Colorado is 15-9 overall, 7-7 in the Pac-12. Utah is 9-16, 2-13 in conference.
