Colorado @ Stanford

Current Records: Colorado 8-5; Stanford 5-7

What to Know

The Colorado Buffaloes are 10-2 against the Stanford Cardinal since January of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. Colorado and Stanford will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 11 p.m. ET at Maples Pavilion. The Buffaloes won both of their matches against Stanford last season (80-76 and 70-53) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Colorado picked up an 86-78 victory over the Southern Utah Thunderbirds last week. Colorado’s forward Tristan da Silva looked sharp as he dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten boards.

Meanwhile, the Loyola Chicago Ramblers typically have all the answers at home, but last Thursday the Cardinal proved too difficult a challenge. The stars were brightly shining for Stanford in a 75-62 win over the Ramblers. Stanford relied on the efforts of forward Harrison Ingram, who had 15 points along with five rebounds, and forward James Keefe, who had 14 points in addition to eight rebounds.

Colorado is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Grambling Tigers Nov. 11 easily too and instead slipped up with an 83-74. In other words, don’t count Stanford out just yet.
