Current Records: Colorado 2-1; Massachusetts 1-1
What to Know
The Colorado Buffaloes will take on the Massachusetts Minutemen at 1:30 p.m. ET Thursday at HTC Center. The Buffaloes should still be riding high after a win, while UMass will be looking to right the ship.
Colorado didn't have too much trouble with the Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday as they won 78-66. Guard KJ Simpson was the offensive standout of the contest for Colorado, posting a double-double on 23 points and ten boards.
Meanwhile, UMass received a tough blow last Thursday as they fell 67-55 to the Towson Tigers. RJ Luis wasn't much of a difference maker for UMass; Luis played for 25 minutes but put up just three points on 0-for-10 shooting.
The Buffaloes are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Grambling Tigers Nov. 11 easily too and instead slipped up with an 83-74. In other words, don't count the Minutemen out just yet.
