BOULDER, Colo. — Tristan da Silva scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds — both season highs — KJ Simpson added 22 and 7 assists and the duo hit five 3-pointers apiece Sunday night to help Colorado beat Stanford 81-71 and extend its win streak to four games.
J’Vonne Hadley made 7 of 11 from the field and scored 15 and Eddie Lampkin added 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting for Colorado (20-9, 11-7 Pac-12).
Stanford (12-17, 7-12) has lost six in a row and eight of its last nine.
Hadley scored nine points in a 23-6 run that turned a five-point deficit into a 42-30 lead with 2:56 left in the first half. Stanford went scoreless for the final 3-plus minutes of the spurt, which was capped when Hadley hit a 3-pointer and made a fast-break layup 16 seconds apart.

Da Silva hit a 3 that pushed the lead back into double figures less than 90 seconds later. A 16-5 run, including two 3s apiece by da Silva and Simpson, gave Colorado a 19-point lead with 8:50 remaining.
