Colorado vs Boise State Prediction: Buffs Beat the Broncs in a Contested Battle to Advance
Colorado played very well down the stretch, and despite running into a stiff Oregon team, they may fare better here against Boise. The Broncos won’t be an easy out at all, but with the Buffaloes carrying arguably the top two players on the floor in KJ Simpson and Tristan de Silva, I think that tandem delivers again for them down the stretch. The Under will be in play if Boise makes this a slow-paced game, but let’s back Colorado to advance in this First Four matchup.
