From CUBuffs.com … At this point of the season, style points don’t matter.
The Colorado Buffaloes played some solid defense in the second half Thursday and overcame a season-high 23 turnovers to collect an 81-74 win at Stanford, ending a 10-game road losing streak in Pac-12 play in the process.
The win, Colorado’s third in a row, improved the Buffs to 13-10 overall and 3-7 in Pac-12 play while Stanford dropped to 11-11, 3-7.
CU senior Derrick White had an outstanding all-around game, finishing with 19 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and a pair of steals.
“He’s so important to us,” Boyle said. “He just makes winning basketball plays. He knows how to play. You can’t teach the things he does.”
Xavier Johnson also had 19 points for CU to go along with five rebounds and three assists. CU’s bench contributed 33 points to the win, including 13 from freshman Bryce Peters and 10 from Tory Miller, who also had seven rebounds.
“We overcame a lot to get this road victory,” head coach Tad Boyle said. “Our guys played with great toughness and great determination and we overcame 23 turnovers on the road. That’s really hard to do.”

Colorado is 12-10 overall and 2-7 in the Pac-12 after earning its first two Pac-12 wins last week, sweeping Oregon State (85-78) and No. 10 ranked Oregon (74-65) at home. The wins snapped a seven-game losing streak, the program’s longest since 2008-09. The Buffaloes endured a treacherous stretch, playing 5-of-7 on the road to begin conference play. During that span, Colorado faced three straight ranked teams for just the fourth time in team history and began conference play with three road games for the first time in 85 years, when the 1931-32 Buffaloes had their first three Rocky Mountain Conference games away from Boulder
