Tristan da Silva - Comes off the bench Saturdayda Silva registered 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 69-60 win over Utah.

Impactda Silva came off the bench for just the second time this season after exiting with an injury during last Sunday's loss to UCLA. The 6-foot-9 junior was considered day-to-day due to this injury leading into Saturday's contest, so it's not too surprising that he wasn't ready to reprise his usual role in the Buffaloes' starting lineup. da Silva finishes the 2022-23 campaign tied as the Buffaloes' second-leading scorer (15.9 ppg) while also adding 4.9 rebounds per contest. With fellow leading scorer K.J. Simpson (illness) now set to miss the upcoming Pac-12 Tournament, it's likely Colorado will need to lean on da Silva to play an even bigger role in Wednesday's matchup versus Washington.
