It should be a lively atmosphere at Coors Events Center on Thursday as Colorado welcomes USC in Pac 12 action. It gets started at 10:00 EST and it will be shown on ESPN U.
With just a few games played, this might set the tone for the conference campaign for both teams. The Buffaloes stand at 10-4 overall as well as 0-2 in the Pac 12. The Trojans maintain a record of 6-9, including 1-1 in the conference. The RPI has the Buffaloes ranked No. 6 and the Trojans at No. 148.
There is a single key statistical area where Colorado can exploit USC, scoring, where the Buffaloes have an edge over the Trojans, 72 pts/game to 63 pts/game. Last year the Buffaloes beat the Trojans 74-50. StatSmack! Colorado is better than USC
