BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Tristan da Silva scored 19 points to lead all five starters in double figures and Colorado never trailed in a 90-57 romp over Oregon State on Saturday.

Da Silva made 6 of 10 shots with a 3-pointer and 6-of-7 free throws for the Buffaloes (14-5, 5-3 Pac-12 Conference). He added seven rebounds and four assists. Eddie Lampkin finished with 17 points and eight rebounds. Freshman Cody Williams scored 16 with six boards. KJ Simpson totaled 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Luke O’Brien scored 10 on 4-for-6 shooting with a 3-pointer.

Simpson had a four-point play in the middle of a 26-6 run to begin the game and Colorado never looked back. Da Silva had 11 points by halftime, Williams scored 10 and the Buffaloes led 45-23. Colorado shot 50% from the floor in building the 22-point lead, sinking 4 of 10 from 3-point range. Oregon State shot 34.5% and missed 7 of 9 from distance.

Colorado’s largest lead was 37 before Oregon State scored the final four points.

Tyler Bilodeau scored 18 on 8-for-12 shooting to lead the Beavers (9-9, 1-5), who have lost five in a row. Michael Rataj scored 11 off the bench and had a team-high six rebounds. Jordan Pope and reserve Josiah Lake II both scored 10.

Colorado has won 12 straight at home. The Buffaloes’ last streak that long came in 2019 and spanned two seasons.

The Buffaloes entered play with an 85.5 scoring average at home, winning by an average of 19 points.

Oregon State falls to 11-22 against Colorado and 3-13 in Boulder.

Colorado travels to play Washington on Wednesday. Oregon State returns home to play No. 12 Arizona on Thursday.
