DAYTON, Ohio—Tristan da Silva sparked a second-half rally with a key 3-pointer and finished with a game-high 20 points to lead Colorado to a 60–53 win over Boise State on Wednesday in an NCAA Tournament First Four game.
It was the ninth win in 10 games for Colorado, which had won eight straight before dropping the Pacific-12 Conference Tournament championship game to Oregon on Sunday. The Buffaloes (25–10) advance as a No. 10 seed to oppose seventh-seeded Florida on Friday in a South Region game at Indianapolis.
