Cory Higgins had 12 points in the first half as Colorado shot out to a 35-21 lead at the break. Higgins hit a pair of jumpers in the early going as the Buffaloes opened the game on a 12-2 spurt. He then drained a pair of 3-pointers during a 10-2 spurt that stretched the lead to 27-15.

Baylor cut the deficit in half three minutes into the second period and continued to chip away, finally pulling even at 54-54 when Dunn hit a pair of free throws at the 4:49 mark. Colorado regained the lead on Alec Burks’ jumper and a free throw by Andre Roberson, but Acy hit two free throws and Dunn’s jumper with 2:58 left gave the Bears their first lead, 58-57.

Acy would push it two 64-59 when he split a pair of free throws with 58 seconds left and Baylor was able to hang on.
