Colorado has been an underrated team that are starting to come together at the right time. This roster is so talented and dangerous that they can go on a run in this tournament. They play well on both defense and offense and will hold their own in this matchup with Boise State. The Broncos were not as impressive this season, especially in their guard play and on offense. The Broncos are only shooting 34% at the three point line while the Buffaloes shoot 39.1%. They are however, a veteran group with a seasoned coach, but they fall short in talent when compared to the Buffaloes. Colorado are the better team in this matchup with 10 wins versus Quad 1 and Quad 2 opponents and they have top NBA prospective first round draft picks on their team to lead the way.They have had experience in the tournament before and their talent should take them far. The key to this game will be to control play at the glass and Colorado has the edge there. They should win and cover and move on.
