BOULDER, Colo. — Lorenzo Bonam scored 17 points, including a go-ahead layup with just over a second remaining, and had a pivotal steal as Utah rallied to beat Colorado 56-54 on Friday night.
Bonam drove to the basket and arched a shot over a sea of outstretched hands to help Utah (12-4, 1-2 Pac-12) overcome a nine-point deficit in the second half. Kyle Kuzma added 12 points as he was back in the lineup after hurting his tailbone on a hard fall last Sunday in a loss at California.
George King led Colorado (12-4, 1-2) with 21 points. The Buffaloes have dropped four straight to Utah.
Josh Scott posted the better numbers against Jakob Poeltl in a showdown featuring two of the top centers in the country. Scott finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Poeltl had six points and 11 boards.
