Why the Buffs won: CU fixed some recent problem areas, limiting turnovers (12) and fouls (eight). That resulted in efficient defense, holding the highest-scoring team in the Big 12 to 30 points below its average, while the Buffs’ offense hit 49.1% of its shots.

Three stars:

1. Jade Masogayo: She was a force inside, with 13 points, seven rebounds and four blocks.

2. Johanna Teder: She had her best game in weeks, posting 10 points and three assists, posting a team-best plus-19 ratio when on the floor.

3. Frida Formann: Posted a game-high 14 points, while also pulling down three rebounds.

Up next: The Buffs visit BYU for the first time since 1996 on Wednesday at 7 p.m. (ESPN+).
