Colorado Buffaloes Defeat Bellarmine 79-55

The Colorado Buffaloes secured a decisive 79-55 victory over the Bellarmine Knights, marking their fourth consecutive win and maintaining an 8-0 home record. Key performances included Assane Diop's career-high 15 points and contributions from RJ Smith and Julian Hammond III with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Colorado built a significant 29-point lead by halftime, largely due to Bellarmine's poor shooting performance, as they made only 1 of 14 three-pointers in the first half. Although Bellarmine improved their shooting in the second half, they were unable to overcome the deficit. The Buffaloes, now 9-2, are set to face Iowa State in their Big 12 debut. Bellarmine, struggling with a 3-10 record, has yet to win an away game this season.
