Xavier Johnson added 11 points and 10 rebounds while freshman Wesley Gordon contributed 12 and six.

Brandon Taylor scored 17 points while Dakarai Tucker contributed 11 for the Utes, who were 4-for-12 from the field in the extra session.

Utah missed 20 of its first 26 shots but made six of its final eight of the first half and used a 14-0 run to erase a seven-point deficit en route to a 37-31 lead at the break. The Buffaloes, who trailed 47-35 with 16:59 remaining, took their first lead after intermission 55-54 on Scott's bucket in the lane with 6:20 to go.

Scott's free throws with 19.2 seconds left increased Colorado's lead to 65-62 before Taylor's 3-pointer with 5.3 seconds to play sent the game into overtime. Talton's trey opened the scoring in the extra session and his jumper with 1:08 left made it 73-69 before Colorado sealed it by making six free throws in the final 44 seconds.
