Cal State Bakersfield @ Colorado

Current Records: Cal State Bakersfield 4-3; Colorado 8-3

What to Know

The Colorado Buffaloes' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners at 2 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at CU Events Center. Colorado is the favorite in this one, with an expected 14-point margin of victory.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between the Buffaloes and the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers last Friday was still a pretty decisive one as Colorado wrapped it up with a 65-54 win at home. Forward Evan Battey (15 points) and forward Jabari Walker (14 points) were the top scorers for Colorado.

Meanwhile, Cal State Bakersfield came up short against the Abilene Christian Wildcats on Wednesday, falling 69-59.

This next matchup looks promising for Colorado, who are favored by a full 14 points. They may be expected to win, but bettors beware: they are only 1-7-1 against the spread when favored.

Colorado's victory lifted them to 8-3 while Cal State Bakersfield's loss dropped them down to 4-3. We'll see if the Buffaloes can repeat their recent success or if the Roadrunners bounce back and reverse their fortune.
