Oklahoma State vs Colorado Prediction

I’ll just stay with Colorado. The Buffaloes couldn’t keep pace with a great Arizona team over the weekend in a loss at Coors Events Center, shooting just 40.6 percent from the field with 55.9 percent surrendered on the other side. Colorado was out-rebounded 34-30 and outscored in the paint 54-26 during the defeat. The Buffs are just 1-2 in the last three games but the losses came to top-five teams in Houston and Arizona.

These teams last met back on February 21 in an 83-69 victory at home for the Buffaloes. In that one Colorado shot well with 47.5 percent from the field versus just 37.7 percent surrendered by the defense. It was a sloppy game though, with the Buffaloes accounting for 12 of the overall 25 turnovers. Provided Colorado can clean up the mistakes a bit in this tournament rematch they should be set up well.
