Andre Roberson had 11 points and 13 rebounds as Colorado continued its dominance over Air Force with a 76-73 overtime win over the host Falcons on Wednesday.

Roberson's put-back gave Colorado a two-point lead with 11 seconds left in regulation, but Air Force's Mike Fitzgerald hit two free throws with three seconds left to force the extra period.

Nate Tomlinson scored 19 points and Carlon Brown added 16 for Colorado (3-2), which finished seventh in last weekend's Puerto Rico Tip-off.

The Buffaloes outrebounded Air Force 42-26 and improved to 18-3 all-time against the Falcons.

Michael Lyons scored a career-high 31 points for Air Force (3-1). Lyons, who was named MVP of the All-Military Classic last week, shot 10-of-19 from the field, including three 3-pointers.

Todd Fletcher added 13 points for the Falcons, who shot just 5-of-19 (26.3 percent) from beyond the arc.
