what to know
The Colorado Buffaloes have been on the wrong end of a one-way rivalry with the #4 UCLA Bruins and are hoping to record their first win since February 27, 2021. Colorado and the Bruins will meet in a Pac-12 battle at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday at CU Events Center. UCLA should still be riding high after a win, while the Buffaloes will look to get back in the win column.
Colorado took a big hit Thursday with an 84-65 loss to the USC Trojans. Guard Nique Clifford had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with just seven points on 3-of-10 shooting in his 29 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, the Utah Utes usually have all the answers at home, but on Thursday UCLA proved too difficult a challenge. UCLA was able to get a solid win over the Utes, winning 78-71. Bruins guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. did his thing and had 23 points to go along with eight rebounds.
The Buffaloes are now 15-14 while UCLA is 24-4. A couple of stats to remember while you watch: Colorado has allowed opponents an average of 7.2 steals per game, the 51st-most in college basketball. To make matters worse for Colorado, UCLA enters the matchup with the 29th most steals per game in college basketball at 8.6. In other words, Colorado will need to work harder to take care of the ball.
