What to Know

The Colorado Buffaloes are 8-2 against the Stanford Cardinal since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Sunday. Colorado and Stanford will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 7 p.m. ET at CU Events Center. The Buffaloes won both of their matches against the Cardinal last season (77-64 and 69-51) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Colorado can't say they have nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week. They had just enough and edged out the Brown Bears 54-52. The top scorer for Colorado was forward Evan Battey (16 points).

As for Stanford, they have more to be thankful for after their contest against the North Carolina A&T Aggies last week. The Cardinal enjoyed a cozy 79-65 victory over North Carolina A&T. Forward Harrison Ingram and forward Max Murrell were among the main playmakers for Stanford as the former posted a double-double on 14 points and ten boards and the latter had 18 points. Murrell hadn't helped his team much against the Baylor Bears two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Murrell's points were the most he has had all year.

Colorado is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 1-5 against the spread when favored.

Colorado is now 5-1 while Stanford sits at 4-2. The Buffaloes are 3-1 after wins this season, the Cardinal 1-2.
