PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) George King scored 22 points to lead Colorado to a 75-70 victory at Washington State on Saturday night.
Josh Scott added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Buffaloes (15-5, 4-3 Pac-12).
Ike Iroegbu led Washington State (9-10, 1-6) with 27 points. Conor Clifford matched his season bests of 18 points and five rebounds. The Cougars have lost five consecutive games.
Iroegbu, who led the Pac-12 in 3-point shooting percentage entering Saturday's game, scored most of his points on aggressive drives to the basket. The 6-foot-2 guard took just three shots from 3-point range, making one, before shooting an air ball with the 6-10 Scott guarding him that would have tied the game at 73-73 with approximately four seconds left to play.
Colorado led 39-32 at halftime. The Cougars jumped out front 9-3, then were outscored 20-2, when the Buffaloes held WSU without a field goal for nearly seven minutes.
