Colorado vs. Arizona CBB Prediction:
Colorado looks to win their seventh straight, while Arizona looks to bounce back from a 18-point loss to Stanford.
Take Colorado. Arizona will likely come out with a chip on their shoulder after losing on Sunday, but I think the Buffaloes will be able to with stand it. Colorado has a strong roster this year and are quietly 11-2 and this has been without their stud freshman Cody Williams for the past month. Arizona has some issues defensively, that Colorado will be able to exploit and stay close enough from Tuscon. Buffs are the play.
