The Colorado men’s basketball team has completed arguably the least challenging portion of its Big 12 Conference schedule.

Why the Buffs lost: CU committed 16 turnovers and allowed Oklahoma State to grab 13 offensive rebounds, which the Cowboys turned into 22 second-chance points. 1. OSU’s Bryce Thompson. Shared the team lead with 15 points and drew a team-high eight fouls from the Buffs while finishing 7-for-9 at the free throw line.

Still, the Buffs once again were plagued by turnovers, finishing with 15. Colorado began the week ranked second in the Big 12 in free throw percentage with Cincinnati ranked last. Yet it was the Bearcats who outscored the Buffs at the line, going 16-for-21 while CU finished 13-for-21.
