Golden Bears Eye Victory at CU Events Center Against Buffaloes

As the California Golden Bears prepare to face off against the Colorado Buffaloes at the CU Events Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Golden Bears have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, with a narrow victory over the Cougars (73-72) and a solid win against the Huskies (70-57), but they faced a tough loss when they went up against the Cardinal (51-78).

Analyzing these past performances, it's evident that California has been strong in points in paint, scoring 36 points on two separate occasions. Their shooting from within the arc has been more reliable than from distance, with two-point field goal percentages of 45 and 54 percent in their wins. However, consistency beyond the arc needs improvement as evidenced by a mere 13 percent three-point shooting against Stanford.

Defensively, California has shown resilience with steals peaking at ten against Stanford and blocks reaching five versus Washington. Rebounding is another area where they've excelled; pulling down as many as 44 rebounds in one game shows their ability to control possession.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for California to capitalize on these strengths while addressing areas needing improvement such as three-point accuracy and maintaining possession since turnovers have occasionally hindered them.

Fans should expect an intense matchup where every quarter will matter. The Golden Bears will need to leverage their inside scoring while tightening up perimeter defense to counteract Colorado's home advantage.

Mark your calendars for January 13th at 7:00 PM Mountain Time when you can catch all the action live on Pac-12 Network from Boulder's CU Events Center. This is not just another conference game; it's an opportunity for California to assert themselves on enemy territory and showcase their growth this season.
