Colorado claims its 21st consecutive nonconference regular season win. The Buffaloes have also won 28 of 32 such contests dating back to the 2010-11 season.
Colorado improved its series lead over Denver to 6-2 and records its first win in Magness Arena in three tries. The Buffaloes improve to 2-2 all-time against DU on the road.

Colorado had exactly 50 rebounds, hitting the 50 mark for the second straight game (59 vs. CSU) for the first time since grabbing 50 against UC Irvine and 52 against Illinois-Chicago in the first two games of the 2009-10 season.
Chucky Jeffery (14 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals) recorded her 22nd career double-double, tying Sandy Bean (1978-82) for fifth all-time at CU.
