CU’S ROBERSON NAMED PAC-12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dec 17th
First Conference Weekly Honor For Junior Forward
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – University of Colorado junior forward André Roberson has been named the Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for the week of Dec. 10-16, the conference office announced Monday afternoon.
Roberson tallied his fifth double-double of the season in Colorado’s only game of the week, a 50-43 win at Fresno State. Roberson scored a game-high 17 points and grabbed a career-best 20 rebounds. He shot 7-of-12 from the field with an additional three assists and one steal on the night.
Roberson grabbed his first PAC 12 honors for a 20-rebound night.
The San Antonio, Texas, native is the first Buff to have 20 boards in one game in more than a decade. His total is the most by a Pac-12 player this season and the most for a Pac-12 player in four years. The first road win of the season moved the Buffs to an 8-2 record, matching its best start since the 2001-02 campaign.
This is Roberson’s first career Pac-12 Player of the Week honor, and the third all-time selection for Colorado. He is the second CU player to be named conference player of the week this year.
Roberson is also looking to become the school’s first player since Shaun Vander (1989-91) to average a double-double in back-to-back seasons. Entering Friday’s home game against Northern Arizona (Dec. 21, 6:30 p.m. MT, Pac-12 Network), Roberson is averaging 12. 1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game.
The 20-rebound performance against the Bulldogs was the 17th 20-rebound performance in CU history and tied for the fourth-most in a game away from home. It’s also the first 20-rebound performance in a CU road game in almost 52 years, since Roger Voss had 27 at Missouri on Feb. 4, 1961, and most away from home since Jamahl Mosley had 20 versus Baylor in Kansas City on March 8, 2001.

Buffaloes Debut At No. 25 In Associated Press Poll
Dec 17th
B
BOULDER — Fresh off its first top-10 victory in more than10 years, the University of Colorado debuted at No. 25 in theAssociated Press Women’s Basketball Top 25 poll, released Monday.
Colorado received 99 votes to make its first appearance in the AP poll since a similar No. 25 ranking on Jan. 14, 2008. The Buffaloes are 9-0 after defeating then-No. 8 ranked Louisville 70-66 on Dec. 14. CU’s last win over a top-10 opponent was a 62-59 win over No. 5 Stanford in the 2002 NCAA Sweet 16.
The Buffaloes have a long history of rankings in the AP poll, dating back to the 1980-81 season. This week’s ranking marks the 159th time Colorado has appeared in the AP poll, trailing only Stanford, USC and UCLA among Pac-12 Conference schools. CU had received one vote in last week’s AP poll.
The USA Today Sports Coaches poll will be released on Tuesday. The Buffaloes haven’t been ranked in that poll since April 2004. CU received votes from the coaches poll during the squad’s four-week AP run in 2007-08, but never reached the top 25.
Colorado will take to the floor as a ranked team for the first time since January 2008 by hosting Utah Valley on Saturday, Dec. 22, at 1:30 p.m. at the Coors Events Center.
