Can the Colorado Buffaloes Stampede Past USC Trojans at Galen Center?

As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare to face off against the USC Trojans at the Galen Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Buffaloes have been on a tear lately, and their recent performances suggest they could be heading into Los Angeles with enough momentum to overcome their hosts.

Looking back at their last game on December 22nd against Utah Tech Trailblazers, COLO dominated with an impressive 98 points to UTU's 71. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an astounding 57 percent from the field and a remarkable 76 percent from the free-throw line. With such efficiency, it's no wonder they managed to put up nearly double digits in fast break points and second-chance points.

The Buffaloes' ability to control the paint was also evident in that game, scoring a whopping 48 points inside while grabbing an eye-opening total of 44 rebounds – almost twice as many as Utah Tech. This kind of dominance underlines COLO's capacity for controlling both ends of the court.

Against Northern Colorado Bears earlier on December 16th, COLO continued their winning ways with a solid performance that ended in a comfortable victory of 90-68. Their shooting remained consistent; they hit just under half their attempts from beyond the arc and maintained an excellent free throw percentage at 85 percent. Additionally, their defense turned offense into quick points off turnovers – totaling an impressive figure of 28.

In Brooklyn against Miami (FL) Hurricanes on December 10th, even though it was not a home game for either team, COLO showed resilience by overcoming a ranked opponent with ease. They outscored MIA by almost thirty points in paint and had more than ten steals leading to crucial turnovers which translated into easy baskets.

The upcoming clash will undoubtedly test COLO's mettle as they go up against USC in enemy territory. However, given their recent form – particularly in terms of shooting accuracy and rebounding strength – there is every reason for optimism among fans of the Buffaloes.

COLO has shown time and again that they can maintain high levels of play even when away from home comforts. If they can continue this trend at Galen Center by exploiting USC’s weaknesses while capitalizing on turnovers and maintaining strong defensive pressure around the rim, another win could very well be within reach for them.

Fans eager to see if Colorado can continue its winning streak should mark February 17th on their calendars when these two teams will tip-off at midnight Eastern Time (ET). The game will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN2 channel number 209 so supporters won't miss any action regardless of where they are located across America.
