BOULDER, Colo. — J'Wan Roberts scored 20 points, Terrance Arceneaux added 13 of his 15 points in the second half and No. 5 Houston held off Colorado 69-59 to hand the Buffaloes their 12th straight loss. L.J. Cryer had 15 points for the Cougars (19-4, 11-1 Big 12). He appeared to be shaken up late in the game. Houston raced out to a 9-0 lead and looked on the brink of making quick work of the Buffaloes (9-14, 0-12). But Colorado took its time on offense, drained the clock and steadily chipped away. Julian Hammond III had 22 points for Colorado.
