Had Hunter not had an unreal day himself, Jeanty might have gained ground. Instead, Hunter added an exclamation point to his already rock-solid case.

With the win, Colorado kept its hopes of a berth in the Big 12 title game alive, though they will need some help from the across the conference in tomorrow’s games.
