Colorado Beats Washington 81-68 to Win Acrisure Holiday Classic and Move to 7-0

Bangot Dak's double-double anchored a balanced response after Washington erased a 17-point halftime deficit.

Overview

  • Colorado led 47-30 at halftime, saw Washington tie it at 52 after a 15-1 surge, and then kept the Huskies from ever going in front.
  • Bangot Dak produced 15 points and 11 rebounds and was named the event pod MVP, leading five Buffaloes in double figures.
  • Felix Kossaras hit pivotal second-half 3-pointers that extended the lead to 62-55 and later 72-61 to put the game out of reach.
  • Barrington Hargress finished with eight assists as Colorado's defense limited Washington to 4-for-13 shooting with only two free throws over the final eight minutes.
  • Washington dropped to 5-2 while using a makeshift, injury-hit lineup that included Hannes Steinbach’s absence, and Colorado hosts Cal Baptist on Monday.
