Colorado dominates Oregon State, moves to 12-0 at home: ‘This altitude is no joke’
When opponents come to the CU Events Center, they physically feel it.
The altitude is no joke, and neither is the Colorado men’s basketball team at home.
“Towards the end of the first half, you’ll hear guys talking about ‘this altitude is no joke,’ so the second half, it really starts to kick in,” Colorado star freshman Cody Williams said. “We’re a team that likes to get up and down the floor, so as the game goes on, I definitely see we start to get more transition layups, transition buckets, and I think the altitude is really something that just wears down teams.
“I think we really do have a great advantage with this altitude.”
Colorado (14-5, 3-3 Pac-12) used its home-court advantage Saturday to improve to 12-0 this season at the CU Events Center for the first time in more than 50 years. The dominant, 90-57 win over Oregon State (9-9, 1-6 Pac-12) was the Buffaloes’ third consecutive win, and it’s their best home start since the 1968-69 season.
Whether it was the altitude or Colorado’s smothering defense, the Beavers shot just 33% from the field (20-for-60), went just 3-for-17 (18%) from 3-point range and turned the ball over 10 times.
The Buffaloes shot 52% from the field (32-for-61) and had six players reach double-digit points, but 19 assists to just eight turnovers as a team was Colorado coach Tad Boyle’s favorite stat of the night, he said postgame.
“Very few teams have five or six guys that can get double figures any night. We’re one of them, and that makes us difficult, I think, to prepare for,” Boyle said. “That’s what I want our players to understand: it’s going to be someone else’s night on different nights, and you have to understand that, but you can still chip in and be a part of it.”
Tristan da Silva scored a game-high 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting to go along with seven rebounds and four assists. Eddie Lampkin Jr. had a near double-double, scoring 17 points and grabbing eight rebounds, while Williams chipped in 16 points and six rebounds.
Luke O’Brien, who started in place of J’Vonne Hadley (out with a knee injury), had 10 points, as did freshman Assane Diop. It was a career high in both points and minutes (16) for Diop, a good sign for a young player who will be counted on down the stretch of the season.
“Number one, I’m so happy for him because you see day to day how hard Assane works,” Boyle said. “You see how selfless that he is — he’s all about the team, he’s not about himself and he just works his tail off. His growth has come incrementally in practice. This is the first time he’s really experienced it in a game.
“I’ve said this, Assane Diop and Bangot Dak are both going to be really good players in this program, and I think you saw just a glimpse of that from Assane tonight.”
Colorado led by as many as 37 points and never trailed Oregon State, which suffered its fifth straight loss.
The Buffaloes will be back on the road next week for matchups with Washington (11-7, 3-4 Pac-12) and Washington State (13-6, 4-4 Pac-12), two teams they have already beat this season.

The Oregon Ducks were fairly stunned when freshman outfielder Angel Laya announced he was entering the transfer portal last week. Now, the likely suspects are lining up around the corner for the freshman All-American slugger’s services.
On3’s Pete Nakos revealed that Laya has garnered interest from several SEC programs since entering the transfer portal, which won’t come as a shock to many Oregon baseball fans. Nakos reports that Texas, Texas A&M, LSU and Georgia have shown interest and appear to be frontrunners for one of the top available players in the portal.
The SEC was rumored to be a likely landing spot for Laya and other Oregon transfers given the NIL resources that the conference’s top programs have in comparison to the Ducks.
The Ducks’ season came to an end in SEC territory, being swept by Texas in the Austin Super Regional. After an otherwise stellar freshman campaign, Laya went 1-for-11 against the Longhorns with four strikeouts.
Laya starred for the Ducks from day one. He cranked two home runs in just his second game at PK Park and never took his foot off the gas after that. Laya finished the season slashing .296/.396/.538 with a .934 OPS and 47 RBIs. He set Oregon freshman records with 14 home runs, 49 runs scored and 120 total bases. Laya also showed rare patience at the plate for a young slugger, drawing 27 walks and 10 hit-by-pitches while striking out 34 times.
Oregon had hoped to build upon a Super Regional finish with a trio of terrific freshmen in the lineup. However, Laya’s decision to transfer was followed soon after by freshman designated hitter Naulivou Lauaki Jr. and sophomore catcher Burke-Lee Mabeus.
The Ducks have made a few additions in the portal so far, but their main goal is retaining valuable pieces like freshman catcher Brayden Jaksa and keeping their top committed recruits out of the MLB draft.

Oakridge has been recognized as one of the top U.S. destinations for mountain bikers.
The 3,200-person city in the Cascade Range was ranked fifth on Outside Magazine’s list of the country’s best mountain biking towns, placing it in a category that includes places like Moab, Utah; Bentonville, Ark. and Durango, Colo.
The ranking cited the city’s more than 300 miles of trails into the Umpqua and Willamette national forests that surround it, and a vibe that is “timber town transitioned to tourism.”
Eugene Cathcart, part-owner of Willamette Mountain Mercantile, a bike shop in Oakridge, said the area has a hub and spoke layout.
“There’s all of these trails that act like spokes going out into the wilderness around us here, and they’re long,” he said. “A lot of them run through old-growth forest, and they have a really fun, playful character that works really well for mountain biking.”
Outside Magazine cited Oakridge as a prime location for enduro riding, a style of riding that often includes courses with steep terrain and challenging downhills.
“The combination of riding in steep, wooded areas and some of the technical features like roots and rocks make a lot of our trails not too beginner-friendly,” Cathcart said. “Some of our trails are accessible to beginners and range all the way up to quite challenging.”
Oakridge has adopted mountain bike tourism as part of its economy, with multiple companies offering guided tours and shuttle services for those who don’t want to take on long climbs to get to the downhills.
