Askia Booker scored 13 points and Andre Roberson had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Buffs (14-7, 6-3), whose three-game winning streak ended as they fell out of a four-way tie for first in their inaugural season in the Pac-12.

It was the Bruins' second straight blowout victory, having beaten Utah 76-49 on Thursday.
