Why the Buffs won: Their defense was strong all afternoon, holding Texas Tech to 32.1% shooting and forcing 19 turnovers. Offensively, the Buffs got contributions from several different players.

Three stars:

1. Lior Garzon: She busted out of a recent slump with 17 points, while adding four rebounds and three steals.

2. Tabitha Betson: The freshman had arguably the best game of her season, posting 11 points, four rebounds and three assists.

3. Kindyll Wetta: Although she finished with a career-high eight turnovers, Wetta was aggressive all afternoon on both ends of the floor, posting nine points, six assists and five steals.

Up next: The Buffs will host Arizona at the CU Events Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m. MT (ESPN+).
