Boulder, Colo. • Askia Booker scored a career-high 27 points, 11 in the last 4:40, and No. 20 Colorado rallied in the second half to hand No. 10 Oregon its first loss of the season.
Spencer Dinwiddie added 23 points and Xavier Johnson and Josh Scott had 15 points apiece to help Colorado win 100-91 Sunday. The Buffaloes (13-2, 2-0 Pac-12) are off to their best start since the 1968-69 team began the season 13-2. Scott had 12 rebounds for Colorado, which remained unbeaten in 11 home games this season.

Leading the nation in scoring, Oregon, one of seven unbeaten Division I teams entering the day, could not keep up with Colorado.
Young connected on a 3-pointer for Oregon with 1:24 left but that proved to be the Ducks' final field goal as Colorado made 6 of 8 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
