On December 21st, the Colorado Buffaloes showcased an impressive display of basketball against Northern Colorado Bears, outscoring them 78-56. Their offense was firing on all cylinders with a field goal percentage of 52 percent and an outstanding two-point shooting performance at 61 percent. The team's defensive prowess was equally notable with 17 steals and seven blocks, which disrupted the Bears' rhythm throughout the game.

The Buffaloes' ability to convert turnovers into points was particularly devastating; they scored a remarkable 32 points off turnovers. This aspect of their game will be crucial against UCLA Bruins who will need to be wary of COLO's aggressive defense.

In another recent game on December 5th against Texas-Arlington Mavericks, COLO once again proved too strong for their opposition by putting up an impressive total of 95 points. Their balanced attack saw them shoot nearly 47 percent from the field while also making significant contributions from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of approximately 42 percent.

One cannot overlook COLO's unselfish play which has been evident in their high assist numbers; they tallied up an incredible total of 28 assists in that game alone. This level of teamwork and fluid ball movement could pose significant challenges for any team trying to contain them defensively.

However, it would be remiss not to acknowledge that UCLA is no pushover and will come into this matchup looking to disrupt COLO's rhythm. They bring their own set of strengths that could test COLO’s defense as well as challenge them on both ends of the floor.

Looking ahead towards this upcoming clash between these two teams, it is clear that if Colorado can maintain its high level offensive efficiency coupled with relentless defensive pressure seen in previous games like those played on December 2nd against Air Force Falcons where they won convincingly by scoring heavily inside paint (40 points), then fans can expect another dominant performance from COLO.

The scheduled date for this exciting matchup is January 19th at CU Events Center located in Boulder at precisely eight o'clock PM local time (Mountain Time Zone). Fans eager not to miss any action should note there are no broadcast networks listed but staying tuned for updates regarding streaming options or local broadcasts would be advisable so as not miss witnessing whether Colorado can extend its winning streak or if UCLA will emerge victorious in what promises be compelling contest between two competitive teams.
