Can Colorado Buffaloes Rebound at Haas Pavilion Against California Golden Bears?

As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare to face the California Golden Bears at Haas Pavilion, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent rough patch. The Buffaloes have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, with an impressive victory against the Washington State Cougars but also suffering a heavy defeat to the Arizona Wildcats and a close loss to the Arizona State Sun Devils.

The Buffaloes' offense has been somewhat inconsistent; they managed 74 points on 50 percent field goal shooting against Washington State but struggled in their next game, scoring only 50 points with a 36 percent shooting performance against Arizona. Their three-point shooting fluctuated as well, hitting an efficient 44 percent against Washington State but dropping to just 27 percent versus Arizona.

Defensively, Colorado has had its challenges too. They allowed a whopping 97 points to Arizona and were outrebounded by twenty rebounds which contributed significantly to their loss. However, they showed better control in their next game by limiting turnovers and improving on assists-to-turnover ratio.

As they head into Berkeley for this matchup, rebounding from both ends of the floor will be crucial for Colorado. The venue might play into California's hands as home-court advantage often provides an extra boost for teams. The Buffaloes will need to focus on maintaining ball security and improving shot selection if they wish to come away with a win.

Fans can catch all the action from this anticipated encounter scheduled for January 11th at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, CA. Tip-off is set for January 10th at 9:00 PM Mountain Time (8:00 PM Pacific), and viewers can tune in nationally on ESPNU channel 208 for live coverage of what promises to be an engaging battle between these two teams.
