BOULDER, Colo. - A second-half cold streak cost the Prairie View A&M men's basketball team during an 83-64 loss at Colorado Thursday evening in CU Events Center.

Senior Gerard Andrus scored 12 points to lead the Panthers (3-8). Senior Devonte Patterson added 11 points. Ten different Panthers scored in the game.

Behind 35-28 at the break, the Panthers found themselves down 42-32 with 17:26 left before Andrus converted a layup to cut the deficit to single digits. Following a pair of free throws from Colorado's Evan Battey, the Panthers fought to within five behind the efforts of Patterson and Senior Darius Williams.

After Patterson knocked down a jumper to make the game 52-47 with 8:47 remaining, the Buffaloes put together a 26-6 run -- during which the Panthers went 3-of-10 from the field -- to push their lead to 25 with 2:45 left. The ensuing deficit was too much for the Panthers to recover from in the late stages of the game..

Prairie View A&M shot 36.8 percent (25-of-68) from the floor, including a 1-of-9 mark from three-point range. The Buffaloes (9-2) went 26-of-52 from the field, good for a 50 percent clip. Prairie View A&M was out-rebounded 43-29, and Colorado held a plus-13 advantage from the charity stripe.

Four Colorado players scored in double figures, led by Battey's 20 points and nine boards.
