Colorado Buffaloes at Washington Huskies

Colorado beats Washington 64-47

That doesn't mean he enjoyed the Huskies' misfortune.

"I definitely feel for them," Scott said. "Been there in that situation, where we haven't had people healthy, so I hope their guys get healthy."

Washington (15-14, 4-13 Pac-12) had just seven healthy scholarship players for the game. Shawn Kemp, Jr., missed his third straight game due to a strained a calf suffered in practice this week after recovering from a concussion, and Donaven Dorsey was out with turf toe. Kemp's absence, especially, left UW vulnerable inside.

Scott and Colorado took advantage.

"We just ran out of bodies," UW coach Lorenzo Romar said.

Scott missed eight games this year with back injuries, giving him some perspective on Washington's troubles.

"For the guys that are sitting out, not able to be out there with your teammates that you battle with every day, it's not an easy task," he said. "I wouldn't wish that on anybody."

Xavier Johnson had 11 points and seven rebounds, and Xavier Talton added 10 points for Colorado (14-15, 7-10) which won on the road for just the second time this season. CU has won two in a row, the Buffaloes first winning streak since January.

"We couldn't make a shot, but we finally got it inside," Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. "We got some putbacks and got the ball into the high post and on the baseline where we want it, and our guys made plays."

Colorado opened up a 20-6 lead and Scott scored 14 of his points in the first half as CU took a 30-17 halftime lead.

"We got a lot of stops, pushed the ball in transitions at some points," said Colorado guard Askia Booker, who had five points and seven rebounds. "We basically figured out their zone."

Andrews led the Huskies with 20 points and Mike Anderson added 11. Washington has now lost three in a row and 10 of the last 11.

"We just couldn't consistently put the ball in the basket, even when we made our runs," Romar said.
