Buffaloes Prepare for Clash with Sun Devils at CU Events Center
As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare to host the Arizona State Sun Devils at the CU Events Center, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter. The Buffaloes have been on a formidable streak, showcasing their dominance on home turf. With recent victories over Utah Tech Trailblazers and Northern Colorado Bears, they've proven their prowess in both offense and defense.
The Buffaloes' offensive statistics are particularly impressive; they scored 98 points against Utah Tech with an exceptional field goal percentage of 57 and dominated inside the paint with 48 points. Their free throw performance was also strong at 76 percent accuracy. Against Northern Colorado, they maintained their scoring efficiency with 90 points and a slightly lower but still potent field goal percentage of 49.
Defensively, the Buffaloes have been just as imposing. They held Miami (FL) Hurricanes to only 63 points in an away game at Barclays Center, showcasing their ability to control games even outside Boulder.
One key aspect that could influence the upcoming game is rebounding; in their past performances, Colorado has consistently outrebounded their opponents by significant margins – grabbing 44 rebounds against Utah Tech and another robust tally of 43 against Northern Colorado.
The venue itself might play a role too; playing at CU Events Center where they've recently enjoyed success could give them an additional edge over Arizona State Sun Devils. The energy from home fans has always served as a sixth man for the team, providing that extra push when needed.
Looking ahead to February 9th's clash scheduled for broadcast on Fox Sports 1 channel number 219 at CU Events Center in Boulder – fans should expect nothing less than high-intensity basketball from tip-off till final buzzer. With both teams eager to assert dominance in this matchup, it's set up perfectly for an evening of top-tier collegiate basketball action.
