BOULDER — With Coach Prime in the house, KJ Simpson put on a Prime Time performance himself. Simpson, CU’s sophomore point guard, dropped a game-high 27 points in front of new Buffs football coach Deion Sanders and a full house at the Events Center to power the Buffs to a 93-65 rout of rival CSU. Simpson netted 18 points in the second half, 12 coming on four 3-pointers, to help the Buffs improve to 5-5 overall and snap a two-game losing skid. CSU dropped to 6-4 in the first meeting between the in-state rivals since December 2019, and the first in Boulder in roughly four years. The hosts, who led 38-30 at halftime, opened the final stanza with a 12-6 run, thanks to 6-of-9 shooting to open the second half, and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.
