HOUSTON \u2014 Compared to other recent road ventures against nationally ranked teams, it wasn\u2019t a bad start at all for Colorado.<\/p>\n
In the early moments against No. 5 Houston, the Buffaloes forced a few misses, knocked down some confidence-building shots, and even took a quick eight-point lead.<\/p>\n
But the good vibes didn\u2019t last long. And neither did Tad Boyle.<\/p>\n
The Buffs completely collapsed after a solid start and never recovered, suffering a lopsided 102-62 defeat Saturday at the Fertitta Center. Boyle was ejected with 3 minutes, 6 seconds remaining in the first half after being assessed a pair or technical fouls.<\/p>\n
The loss was CU\u2019s 13th in a row against a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 and its 26th consecutive loss against ranked teams in true road games. The Buffs also fell to 1-18 in road games since the start of the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n
The Buffs (16-13, 6-10 Big 12) jumped to an early 10-2 lead, but it was all Houston from there. The Cougars twice reeled off 12 consecutive points twice during a dominant 27-5 run. The Buffs surrendered eight offensive rebounds in the first half and committed 10 turnovers by halftime, offsetting a solid shooting performance that saw CU finish with a .460 mark.<\/p>\n
Isaiah Johnson was a bright spot offensively for the Buffs, as he went 7-for-9 with 19 points, four assists and three rebounds. Houston, though, outrebounded CU 34-22 and recorded a .596 field goal percentage, including a 10-for-17 mark on 3-pointers.<\/p>\n
