BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Senior Brittany Wilson scored a career-high 26 points for No. 16 Colorado in a 90-87 win over Iowa on Wednesday night.

Colorado was up 48-35 at halftime, but Iowa opened with a 7-0 run. Minutes later, Iowa pulled to within 56-54, but Colorado went on a 15-2 run to extend its lead. Iowa wouldn't go away, responding with a 12-1 burst to make it 72-68 with 5:18 remaining. Colorado made 7 of 10 free throws in the final minute to secure the win.

Arielle Roberson had 17 points, nine rebounds and six assists for Colorado (3-0).
