BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Blair Wilson scored a career-high 26 points and Stephane Pelle had 18 and 18 rebounds Saturday night as Colorado ran its home winning streak to 10 games with an 89-68 Big 12 Conference victory over No. 22 Missouri.

Colorado snapped an eight-game skid against the Tigers.

Wilson, who made six three-pointers, scored 15 points in the opening 20 minutes as the Buffaloes (16-9, 6-6 Big 12) grabbed a 40-30 lead.

Pelle recorded one of three double-doubles for Colorado. Michel Morandais contributed 17 points and 10 assists and David Harrison added 15 and 11 boards as the Buffaloes secured their third home win over a ranked team this season, having previously beaten conference foes Texas and Kansas.

Rickey Paulding scored 22 points for the Tigers (16-7, 7-5), who have lost six of their last seven road games.
