Colorado had no problem extending its non-conference home winning streak Sunday as the Buffaloes cruised to a 104-59 rout of Longwood.
The Buffaloes (7-3) won their 19th consecutive non-conference game at home thanks to balanced scoring. Six different Colorado players scored in double figures, led by Cory Higgins with 18 points.
Levi Knutson scored 17 points, Alec Burks had 15, Marcus Relphorde and Andre Roberson added 14 and Austin Dufault had 12 for Colorado, which led 47-26 at the break.
Entering the game as the leading scorer in the Big 12 at 20.3 points per game, Burks scored 11 of his points in the first half to help Colorado open a big lead.
Longwood (3-10) has lost eight straight since posting a three-game win streak in late November. The Lancers were playing the fifth game of a six-game road trip.
Antwan Carter scored 16 points and Jeremiah Bowman added 15 for Longwood, which has also been routed by Kansas, Marquette and Seton Hall this season.
