The Buffaloes never trailed in winning their second straight game, pulling away early in the first half. Leading 5-4, Schwartz and Wright had 3-pointers during a 10-0 run for Colorado. Wanjang Tut had a layup to keep the Mavericks within nine but the Buffaloes quickly built a double-digit lead.

Walker had a three-point play and hit a 3-pointer, Maddox Daniels and Walton also drained baskets from behind the arc in a stretch when Colorado scored 14 straight points to go ahead 32-9.

Robinson converted a three-point play and Jadin Booth hit a pair of 3-pointers to spark an Omaha run to get within 38-20 with 4:42 left in the first half but Colorado stretched the advantage to 47-25 at intermission.

The Buffaloes scored the first basket of the second half before the Mavericks got within 20 on Sam'i Roe's 3-pointer, but Colorado responded with a big run to put the game out of reach.

A dunk, two layups and Jeriah Horne's 3-pointer pushed the lead to 61-30 with 13:08 left. Colorado continued to increase the advantage, leading by 35. Nique Clifford's two free throws gave the Buffaloes an 88-47 lead with 1:31 left in the game.
