Colorado Buffaloes vs. Arizona Wildcats Preview

On the season Colorado is 7-7-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 5-8 and Arizona is 8-8 ATS and they have an Under record of 8-8.

This season Arizona is 9-0 at home and Colorado is 0-4 on the road.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

In their last games Colorado lost to Utah 74-49 and Arizona lost to Oregon State 58-56.

Arizona blew out of the games winning their first 12 games, but they have lost 2 of their last 4 games including their last one. However, they now face a Colorado team that is coming off a loss and is winless on the road.

Colorado has only faced one ranked team this season and that was in their last game when they were crushed by Utah losing by 25 points.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Arizona has won 30 straight home games.

Arizona ranks 39th in the nation in scoring and 14th in team FG%, but they stunk it up in their loss to Oregon State when they scored a season low in points and had a season low in FG% (37.8%).

Last season Arizona beat Colorado 3 times and they won those games by an average of 19.7 points.

Colorado returned 3 of their top scorers from last season, but 2 are questionable tonight with Josh Scott dealing with a back injury and Xavier Johnson dealing with an ankle injury.

The Buffaloes have not beaten a ranked team on the road since way back in 1973.

Oregon State played a solid zone defense to thwart the Wildcats, which worked and Colorado will do the same tonight. They will have their hands full from an Arizona team that has 6 players that are averaging at least 8 ppg led by Stanley Johnson, who leads the team in scoring and rebounding.

The 3 leading scorers for Arizona in Johnson, Brandon Ashley, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson all struggled in the Oregon State game combining for 26 points on 6/17 shooting.
