Oscar da Silva scored a game-high 21 points and added seven rebounds, and Daejon Davis netted 16 points as the host Stanford Cardinal rallied from a six-point halftime deficit to defeat the Colorado Buffaloes 75-62 in their Pac-12 matchup on Saturday night.
Freshman Bryce Willis scored 12 points and chipped in seven rebounds for the Cardinal (10-10, 3-5 Pac-12).
Tyler Bey led four Buffaloes in double figures with 17 points, followed by McKinley Wright IV with 14, Lucas Siewert with 13 and Shane Gatling with 10.
Colorado (11-8, 2-5) led 37-31 at halftime and were still up 42-33 with 17:55 left to play, but the Cardinal went on a 17-4 run to take the lead at 50-46. Josh Sharma scored all six of his points in that stretch for the Cardinal.
Stanford finally pushed its lead into double digits when da Silva made a three-point play to make it 68-56 with 3:56 left in the game. Jaiden Delaire added a layup with 2:24 to play to stretch the lead to 14 at 70-56.
Stanford shot 55.1 percent from the floor, including 7 of 20 from 3-point range, while Colorado finished at 40.6 percent overall, but only 3 of 16 from long range.
The Buffaloes also made only 7 of 13 free throws, while the Cardinal made 14 of 16.
