BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado coach Tad Boyle believes his team is breaking new ground. And he couldnt be more disgusted by it.Josh Fortune shook off a miserable offensive slump with a season-high 15 points, and the Buffaloes withstood a 29-point second half from Rob Davis in an 81-71 win over Division II Fort Hays State on Saturday afternoon.Fortune, who was 0 for 13 from the field in his previous two games, went 5 for 9 from the field.Deleon Brown added a career-high 15 points and Xavier Johnson also had 15 for the Buffaloes, who shot 43 percent from the field, including 46 percent in the first half.It felt anything but victorious. Colorados seventh-year coach began his postgame press conference with an apology to the fans who braved frigid temperatures to show up on Saturday.This team has two things going for it right now, Boyle said. Number one, they own the most-disappointing loss in that seven-year span, the Colorado State game a few weeks ago. And now they also can add to that, that they own the most-disappointing win.After the Buffs held Davis scoreless at the break, the senior went off in the second half. Averaging 24 points per game, Davis was a season-best 7 for 10 from 3-point range.Davis sharpshooting allowed the Tigers to mount a rally, using a 17-4 run to climb within 47-39 on a layup by Hadley Gillum with 14:46 remaining. Davis had 11 points during the burst going 0 for 4 from the field in the first half.Theres no feeling, Davis said of his stroke. Im just numb. No conscious, just keep shooting.Davis then swished a jumper for his 29th point of the half to cut the deficit to 76-67 with 2:55 remaining. It was the most points in half by any player at the Coors Events Center, according to Colorado.The Buffs got a few timely free throws and rebounds down the stretch to improve to 8-3.I didnt want that first half to be what people in Colorado have their thoughts about him, Fort Hays State coach Mark Johnson said. He was the best player on the floor.A meeting against a Division II opponent wont count against the Buffaloes RPI as they improved to 6-1 at home. The loss also wont do damage to the Tigers, who played the game as an exhibition.The Buffs led by as many as 21.This was a bad win, if you will, Colorado junior George King said before taking a pause. I mean, I wouldnt say a bad win, I dont know how to put it.It was an eye opener for us, for sure.BIG PICTUREFort Hays State: In the first half, the Tigers played exactly like you might expect from a D II school going against a Power Five Conference team. They started 1 for 15 from the field but rallied to finish 26 of 65. . Davis didnt score his first points until he swished a 3-pointer with 17:25 remaining.Colorado: After another up-and-down performance, the Buffaloes are working to find consistency through 11 games. They beat Texas and Xavier to nab consecutive wins over ranked teams for the first time since 2013, but have also lost to in-state rival Colorado State and BYU.LACK OF EFFORT?Against a severely undersized opponent, Colorado had only a slight rebounding edge, 40-36.Its just a willingness to compete and who wants it more, King said. I dont know, man.GOOD FORTUNEFortune hit a 3 with 6:52 in the first half to end the nasty slump, then stole a pass and turned it into a dunk 52 seconds later.It was just a matter of seeing the ball go down, Fortune said, getting that confidence from seeing it go down.QUOTABLEWe have to dictate defensively, Boyle said. If we cant dictate against Fort Hays I dont know how the hell were going to dictate against Utah, or Arizona State, or Arizona, or anybody in the Pac-12.UP NEXTFort Hays State: After a two-week break, the Tigers will host Kansas Christian on Dec. 31.Colorado: The Buffs are at Air Force Monday before they finish nonconference play against Eastern Washington Thursday.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. MEXICO CITY -- While dealing with a green laser shining in Brock Osweilers eye and the high elevation unique to a game in Mexico City, the Houston Texans feel like a few questionable spots by the officials on a key fourth-quarter drive made the difference in their loss to Oakland.Derek Carr threw his second touchdown pass of the fourth quarter shortly after a disputed fourth-down stop and the Oakland Raiders went on to beat the Texans 27-20 on Monday night in the second regular season game played in Mexico.Very tough loss, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney said. We should have won the game. We are trying to win every game. You dont leave the game in the refs hands.The contest turned midway through the fourth quarter on a matter of inches for the Texans (6-4). On a third-and-2 from the Oakland 16, Lamar Miller ran wide and appeared to get the first down before being tackled by Malcolm Smith. But the officials spotted it short of the marker and coach Bill OBrien opted not to challenge.OBrien then went for it on fourth-and-inches instead of kicking the go-ahead field goal. Akeem Hunt ran up the middle and the Texans thought he got the first down, only to have it marked about an inch short . OBrien challenged this time but with no clear angle, the play was not overturned.I felt like we needed a touchdown there and obviously we did, OBrien said. And so we went for it. Thought we had it, looked like it was clear that we had it, so I challenged it and they said we didnt have it. They said the call on the field stands, so I dont know.Five plays later, Carr connected on a 35-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper that gave the Raiders (8-2) a 27-20 lead and sent them to their fourth straight win.The Texans were on the wrong side of another close call in the first quarter when DeAndre Hopkins took a short pass from Osweiler and ran into the end zone. But officials ruled he stepped out at the Oakland 36 after a gain of 24. The Texans were unable to challenge the play because it was blown dead and they settled for a field goal on that drive.I think weve really got to look at all those things, OBrien said. Weve goot all these cameras and we cant get that right? I didnt think Hopkins was out of bounds, but the whistle had blown, so I couldnt challenge that play.ddddddddddddWhile the disputed calls might have had a bigger impact, the green laser that kept shining in Osweilers eyes might have been the oddest part of a festive game at Azteca Stadium.I never want to say one things a difference maker, but certainly having a laser zoomed in your eyeball definitely affects how you play a game, Osweiler said.Fans here have used the laser to try to distract opponents during World Cup qualifiers, but it caught some of these football players off guard.Yeah, that was kind of weird, Raiders pass rusher Khalil Mack said. I saw that and I thought I was in the Twilight Zone.While the field was a bit slippery at times and the altitude did play a factor , the first game in Mexico City since 2005 was otherwise mostly a success.It was largely a pro-Raiders crowd of 76,743 with a sizable contingent of Texans fans and a smattering of jerseys from other teams mixed in. What was originally scheduled as an Oakland home game featured Raiders music during stoppages, frequent RAI-DERS! chants and Tommie Smith lighting the Al Davis torch in a memorable return to Mexico City nearly a half-century after his Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics.The Raider Nation showed up tonight, coach Jack Del Rio said. I want to send a shoutout to the fans that showed up. It was a great atmosphere to play in.On a less celebratory note, there were also some homophobic chants during kickoffs like the ones used at soccer games on some goal kicks. Mexicos soccer federation has been punished by FIFA in the past for the chant during World Cup qualifiers.Players on both teams were in favor of more games here in the future.It was great, Clowney said. All the NFL setup was great. Most of our fan base is Hispanic, so why not bring the game to them?---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
