Dallas: Aaronette Vonleh scored 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting, Quay Miller added 18 points with 10 rebounds and Colorado remained undefeated.

Jaylyn Sherrod added 18 points for the Buffaloes (4-0), who won their first game since moving up 15 spots in the latest AP poll to their first top-five ranking since 2005. That huge jump came after going 3-0 the first week of the season, including a 14-point victory over defending national champion LSU in their opener.

No. 16 Notre Dame 79, Illinois 68

Washington: Hannah Hidalgo and Maddy Westbeld scored 24 points apiece and Notre Dame won the second Shamrock Classic.

The Irish were without leading scorer Sonia Citron (20.3), who injured a knee in Wednesday’s win over Northwestern. Sophomore Cass Prosper had eight points in her first career start. Citron is expected to miss two weeks with a sprained knee.
