Blair Wilson posted a career-high 24 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Colorado to a 92-77 victory over Texas A&M in the Aggies' home finale Tuesday before 5,029 fans at Reed Arena.
Wilson's previous career best, 21, came on seven 3-pointers in a win over Kansas State in Boulder on Jan. 22.
Colorado (14-12, 5-10 Big 12) snapped a five-game losing skid with the victory. Meanwhile, Texas A&M (9-20, 3-12) lost its eighth straight game.
The Buffaloes went on a 16-4 run midway through the first half to take a 15-point lead at 27-12 on Wilson's third 3-pointer of the half. A&M would clip the deficit to seven at the break, trailing 38-31.
The Aggies cut the Colorado lead to five with 8:33 to play in the game after A&M converted two free throws and added a jumper by Nick Anderson, but would get no closer.
Bernard King scored a season-best 32 points, including 5-of-9 shooting from behind the arc. Nick Anderson (13) and Keith Bean (10) were the other Aggies in double figures.
Also for Colorado, Michel Morandais scored 21 and David Harrison added 20. Stephane Pelle posted a double-double with 17 points and 14 boards.
