Colorado @ Oregon - Thursday 1/26 | 7:00PM MT

Fresh off an electric victory in Boulder on Sunday, the Buffs travel to Eugene to take on Oregon. The Buffs cruised through the Ducks during their last meeting in Boulder. Despite previous success against Oregon, the Buffs need to be ready as Oregon has talent. Oregon has posted a 3-2 record since their loss in Boulder, beating solid teams in Utah and #6 Arizona. Both the Buffs and Ducks are struggling to find consistency. Oregon beat Arizona by 19 points and Cal by 30 but dropped their most recent contest to a struggling Stanford team. The last time these two teams met, the Buffs played stellar defense paired with a career night from Tristain DaSilva. DaSilva had an encouraging game against Washington State, as he dropped 27 points on 11-of-13 from the floor, and if the Buffs want to win in Eugene he will need to be dominant again. The Buffs also need to recover from a poor performance from beyond the arc, as they only drained two threes the whole game. The timing was impeccable as KJ Simpson drained the Buffs’ second three to ice the game. Simpson missed the last game against Oregon due to an illness and will be a key addition for the Buffaloes this time around. Thursday also marks the first time former Buff Keeshawn Barthelemy will face his old team. The Buffs have proven their ability to shut down Oregon but can they do it on the road this time?

Up next:

Colorado @ Oregon State - Saturday 1/28 | 8:30PM MT


After their showdown with Oregon, Colorado will head across the “Beaver State” to take on Oregon State. The Buffs will look to secure an important victory with a Pac-12 late-night matchup. The Buffs dominated Oregon State in Boulder this season, playing excellent team ball and displaying dominant defense.
