Utah Utes Set to Host Colorado Buffaloes at Jon M. Huntsman Center

As the Utah Utes prepare to welcome the Colorado Buffaloes to the Jon M. Huntsman Center, fans can anticipate an exciting matchup in Salt Lake City.

Looking back at their past performances, Utah has consistently outscored their opponents by significant margins. In their last game against Bellarmine Knights, they dominated with an 85-43 victory, displaying a robust defense that limited the Knights to a mere 32 percent field goal percentage and forced 23 turnovers. Offensively, they were just as impressive with a balanced attack that saw them shoot 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc.


Prior to that game, Utah faced off against Utah Valley Wolverines and secured another solid win with a score of 76-62. Their offensive efficiency was on display once again as they shot another impressive 50 percent from the field and an even better free throw percentage of 75.


The trend continued in their encounter with BYU Cougars where despite facing a ranked opponent, Utah emerged victorious with a score of 73-69. Their two-point shooting was particularly noteworthy in this contest as they hit nearly two-thirds of those attempts.


These statistics not only reflect Utah's scoring prowess but also highlight their ability to control both ends of the court effectively—key factors that could influence their upcoming game against Colorado.


The Utes' home advantage at Jon M. Huntsman Center cannot be overlooked either; it's been a fortress for them where crowd support has often played into intimidating visiting teams and swinging momentum in favor of Utah.


As we look ahead to February 3rd when these two teams clash at 22:00 UTC (15:00 local time), fans are encouraged to catch all live action on Pac-12 Network for what promises to be another thrilling collegiate basketball showdown.
