Current Records: Colorado 13-7; Washington State 11-7
What to Know
The Washington State Cougars haven’t won a matchup against the Colorado Buffaloes since March 11 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Sunday. The Cougars will play host again and welcome Colorado to the Wallis Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum, where tip-off is scheduled for 10 pm ET. Washington State is out to stop a three-game losing streak at home.
Washington State didn’t have too much trouble with the Utah Utes at home last week as they won 71-54. Four players on Washington State scored in the double digits: forward Andrej Jakimovski (15), guard Tyrell Roberts (15), guard Noah Williams (10), and guard TJ Bamba (10).
Meanwhile, Colorado was close but no cigar this past Thursday as they fell 60-58 to the Washington Huskies. Forward Jabari Walker (14 points) was the top scorer for the Buffaloes.
The Cougars are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Eastern Washington Eagles Nov. 27 easily too and instead slipped up with a 76-71. In other words, don’t count Colorado out just yet.
