BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Josh Fortune scored 17 points, Josh Scott had 15, and Colorado pulled away late to beat Arizona State 79-69 on Sunday.
Tre'Shaun Fletcher added 13 points, connecting on all three of his 3-point tries, and George King finished with nine points, including a pair of 3-pointers down the stretch for Colorado (21-9, 10-7 Pac-12).
Tra Holder had 16 points for Arizona State (14-15, 4-12) which could not avoid its fourth straight loss. Gerry Blakes added 15 points and Eric Jacobsen 14 for the Sun Devils.

King hit another 3-pointer with 4:28 remaining after the Sun Devils had narrowed the deficit to five.
Scott made a reverse layup and the Buffaloes made four free throws in the final 2:40 to seal it.
