STANFORD, CALIF. (AP) -- Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 23 points and 11 rebounds, sister Chiney Ogwumike added 18 points and seven rebounds and second-ranked Stanford survived a slow start to roll past Pac-12 newcomer Colorado 68-46 on Thursday night.
Amber Orrange also scored seven points, including a three-point play to highlight a 19-2 run to open the second half that propelled the Cardinal (25-1, 16-0) to their 22nd straight win and 77th in a row at Maples Pavilion -- the longest active home-winning streak in the nation. Stanford hasn't lost anywhere since a 68-58 setback at Connecticut on Nov. 21.
Chucky Jeffery had 13 points and 13 rebounds and Ashley Wilson scored nine points for the Buffaloes (16-10, 5-10), who were down only eight at the half. Colorado, which started the season 12-0 for only the third time in school history, has lost two straight and five of the last six games.
