Colorado upsets No. 11 Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — KJ Simpson had 23 points and 10 rebounds, both career highs for the sophomore, to lead Colorado to a 78-66 upset victory over No. 11 Tennessee on Sunday.
Tristan de Silva added 14 points for the Buffaloes, who shot 43.5% to the Volunteers’ 25.4%.
“Today was about Colorado, and [Simpson] was terrific,” Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle said of the former West Hills Chaminade star. “KJ I thought really took the game in his own hands down the stretch there and really controlled the tempo. The 23 points, he’ll have other nights like that for sure, but the 10 rebounds were fantastic.”
