Can Colorado Buffaloes Outmaneuver Drake Bulldogs at Bramlage Coliseum?

As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare to face the Drake Bulldogs at Bramlage Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can carry forward the momentum from their recent performances. The upcoming game on March 22nd is poised to be a showcase of resilience and strategy.

The Buffaloes have shown a pattern of strong starts and finishes in their games, as evidenced by their performance against Oregon Ducks on March 6th. They dominated both the first (26 points) and final quarters (26 points), which was instrumental in securing a decisive victory with a final score of 79-30. Their impressive three-point shooting accuracy stood at 50 percent, significantly contributing to this win.

However, not all games have been smooth sailing for COLO. In an intense battle against Oregon State Beavers on March 7th, they went through two overtime periods before succumbing with a score of 79-85. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; COLO managed an assist-turnover ratio of 1.23 and showed tenacity by pushing the game into double overtime.

In contrast, when facing Washington State Cougars on March 2nd at CU Events Center, COLO's performance dipped with only a field goal percentage of 36 percent leading to a defeat with a scoreline reading 63-72 for WSU.

Against DRKE, it will be crucial for COLO to leverage their ability to start strong and maintain that intensity throughout all four quarters. The Bulldogs will not make it easy; they are known for their disciplined play and could capitalize on any lapses in concentration from COLO's side.

The key matchup will likely be in controlling turnovers and capitalizing on fast break opportunities – areas where COLO has shown proficiency but also inconsistency. Fans should look out for how well the Buffaloes manage ball possession and whether they can exploit DRKE's defense during transitions.

With these factors in mind, I believe that if Colorado maintains its high level of play seen against teams like Oregon Ducks while tightening up defense as needed based on lessons from past defeats like those against ORST or WSU – there is every chance that they could emerge victorious at Bramlage Coliseum.
