Colorado has two big wins over Texas A&M and Tennessee, but the Buffaloes have lost consecutive Pac-12 games against Arizona State and Washington. Regrouping against in-state rival Colorado State will not be an easy task. I expect a more focused effort from the Rams after they took Northern Colorado lightly in their last outing. I'm taking the points with Colorado State.

This is the 130th meeting in the rivalry. The Rams are 9-54 when playing in Boulder. The Buffs have lost two straight, but Colorado State isn't that great with losses to the likes of Charleston and Northern Colorado. UC leads the Pac-12 in offensive rebounds at 12.4 per game and is fourth in overall rebounding at 39.3 an outing and fifth in assists at 13.9 per game. Defensively, the Buffaloes have held their opponents to 68.8 points on 41.3 percent shooting. Colorado leads the Pac-12 in steals at 8.3 per game.
