BOULDER, Colorado (AP) -- Stanford dropped its afternoon showdown with No. 24 Colorado on Saturday, with the Buffs overcoming a second-half deficit for a 81-74 win.
McKinley Wright IV scored 21 points, D'Shawn Schwartz added 20 for the Buffs. All of Tyler Bey's 11 points and nine of his dozen boards came in the second half when the Buffaloes shot 70% from the floor, 100% from behind the arc and 85% from the stripe.
Stanford (16-7, 5-5), which led 39-23 early in the second half, lost its leading scorer, Oscar Da Silva, to a head laceration on a scary collision early in the second half, and he finished with 3 points.
Jaiden Delaire scored 19, Tyrell Terry had 18, Spencer Jones 14 and Isaac White 12 for the Cardinal.
The Buffs trailed 33-22 at halftime following a five-point swing in the final two-tenths of a second of the first half.
Terry fired up a 3-pointer that Eli Parquet got a hand on. Colorado coach Tad Boyle was assessed a technical after Parquet was called for the foul. Terry sank all five free throws, sending Stanford into the locker room with an 11-point lead instead of six.
Da Silva left the game with 16:28 remaining after slamming his head on the floor while defending a breakaway by Evan Battey, who had stolen the ball and was charging toward the basket when they collided.
Before play resumed after the scary scene, both teams huddled at midcourt in a team embrace. Schwartz sank both free throws for Battey to cut Colorado's deficit to 41-32.
Battey returned minutes later with the Buffs down 47-41, and his runner gave Colorado a 51-49 lead. The Buffs took the lead for good on Bey's two free throws with 7:44 remaining that made it 58-56.
