No. 5 Buffs Open Four-Game Homestand with Cal & No. 8 Stanford​

Colorado looks to extend winning streak

By: Seth Pringle, Athletic Communications

BOULDER – The No. 5 Colorado women's basketball team opens up a four-game homestand on Friday, hosting California (7 p.m .MT). The Buffaloes will also welcome in No. 8 Stanford on Sunday (Noon MT) to complete the first weekend of the season-long home stint.

The Buffs (13-1) went on the road last week and picked up its first sweep of Arizona and Arizona State since the 2012-13 season. CU, winners of its last eight games, has its longest winning streak since its 13-0 start to the 2021-22 season. The team's 3-0 start to the Pac-12 season is the first unbeaten stretch through three games in conference play since 1996-97.

With a win on Friday, the team would have its first 4-0 conference start since going a perfect 14-0 in the 1994-95 Big Eight season.

"Last year Jaylyn [Sherrod] and I had a joke after a lot of league games doing those first, 'Well we have never done that before,' and two days later, 'Well never done that before,'" head coach JR Payne exclaimed. "We said the same thing in Arizona. Never done that [sweep] before. It's great. We just want to play great. We feel like if we do our job, play together, play as well as we can play, then we have a chance against anybody."

California (12-3, 2-1 Pac-12), who was picked to finish 11th in both preseason conference polls, comes into Boulder as a reinvented team. The Golden Bears are off to their best start since the 2016-17 season and are receiving votes in the AP poll for the first time this season.

"They're a totally different team," Payne noted. "They have some veterans that are really good, but the players that are really scoring and impacting the box score are new and really talented. They do some things that we have not done particularly well with this year as far as shooting the 3 and playing a lot of different people at different positions. It's a really tough matchup. I think they are a very dangerous team."

Colorado is 14-12 all-time against Cal and has won the last seven meetings. The Buffs are 8-2 against the Golden Bears with Coach Payne at the helm.

No. 8 Stanford (14-1, 3-0 Pac-12) caps the weekend at the CU Events Center on Sunday. It will be the first top-10 matchup at the CU Events Center since the No. 8 Buffs took on No. 7 Purdue on Dec. 3, 1995.

"It does not even have to be said [about not overlooking Cal]," Payne said about the team's mindset. "To be honest, I have not watched one possession of Stanford except for the Cal game, because I was preparing to scout for Cal. We haven't talked about Stanford. They [the team] know them and they know we're playing them Sunday, but we've made Cal a huge priority because Cal is very good. Even with all these veterans [on CU] I told them, 'You don't know this Cal team. You know last year's Cal team. You might even know UCLA better because they're the same team. This team is different.' I think that got their attention really early and that let us lock in and focus"

The Cardinal have won five straight since suffering their lone loss of the season at Gonzaga on Dec. 3. Head coach Tara VanDerveer is closing on becoming the all-time winningest coach, men's or women's, in college basketball history. She is three wins shy of passing Mike Krzyzewski (1,202).

Jenny Cavnar and former Buff Kami Carmann Snyder will have both the calls for the Pac-12 Network this weekend. Cory Lopez and Carol Callan will start with pregame coverage 30 minutes before tip-off on the Colorado Radio Network.

Friday's game is the team's Inclusion Game. Sunday fans can head to section 14 to get a photo with the NCAA Championship Trophy. The team will also be celebrating Martin Luther King Jr Day and fans will receive a free shirt while supplies last.

Of course Cal is going to try to upset the Buffs and hope they are looking towards Sunday.

Stanford is definitely beatable but one team is going to have it's first loss of the Pac-12 in the conference. I hope Utah doesn't beat Stanford or we won't stand a chance on Sunday.

Go Buffs!
 
Pretty sloppy but up 15 -9 after one. That's 60 - 36 over four for the non mathematics majors out there. Just need to get one extra bucket to make it 62 - 36.
 
The 3rd quarter was mainly a trading buckets kind of thing, but the Buffs get 2 3's late as part of an 8-0 run to end the quarter and are up 57-45 going into the final frame.

That ^ was a key to the Buffs win. It was tight and then thee Buffs went on that run to open up the game. They did this with a pair of treys and then a lay up off a steal.

In the fourth quarter CU looked comfortable running the offense and took advantage of missed shots by Cal to blow the game open (it helped that CU also cut down on turnovers).

A solid win where the Buffs overcame turnovers and sloppy play in the first half while limiting the damage from Cal's three point shooting.

Also, Vonleh hit a trey (with me yelling 'no!'), I would bet it was the first of her college career. Sadler and Wetta contributed key treys as well.
 
Also, Sara-Rose Smith did not play due to concussion protocol. She has been clutch off the bench this season. Hope she'll be back Sunday!
 
Went to my first WBB game last night. So much fun! The Cal game was closer that I thought it would be but the Buffs sure can pour it on in very short order. I think they are going to have to play much better tomorrow against the Trees, though, if they are going to pull off a win. They are certainly more than capable.
 
Fun game to watch from home while snowed in from a blizzard.

I watched part of the Stanford-Utah game before the Buffs game. Stanford won on a really bad call against Utah. I am happy they won because they would be more hyped to beat Colorado if they had lost.

The radio announcer said it was Netty's 2nd 3 pointer of her career. I can't believe how much she has improved since her first game last year.

Happy to see Bri McL eod have a great game

I love the unselfishness and grit of the team. They followed the game plan which was to go inside.

Jaylyn didn't have. Ia llot of points but she is the floor general.

Now Stanford. Please go watch this game. The team needs a big crowd to make it loud It can help the team beat Stanford.
 
Clearly one of the best games of the day, but it's on the P12 network.
Did espn have the option of showing the game?

This should be a great contest - Go Buffs!
 
Just bought tickets. Don't want to drive (I hate traffic) and don't want to walk (it's really cold).

Somehow, someway, a group representing Uncle Ken's household will be there.
 
There is this amazing new invention called Uber. Maybe someone in your family has heard of it?

Taking my five year old for a daddy daughter day. This seemed like a much better idea two months ago when I bought the tickets. I think we’ll be parking on campus instead of the Horse…
 
Anybody know what time the doors open? It's not on the ticket and I can't find it at cubuffs.com.

I'm thinking about driving down and just getting there early.

They open at least 1 hour before. Practice facilities I belive are an hour before that.
 
Well, 15 minutes ago I told the five year old “don’t worry, we won’t be late”.

We’ve gone 0.1 miles since then and I’m not as optimistic. I will never understand how this school has such a hard time with parking for events.
