USC @ Colorado

Current Records: USC 19-8; Colorado 15-13

What to Know

After three games on the road, the Colorado Buffaloes are heading back home. The Buffaloes and the USC Trojans will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 9 p.m. ET Thursday at CU Events Center. USC should still be riding high after a victory, while Colorado will be looking to get back in the win column.

Colorado came up short against the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday, falling 78-68. Forward Tristan da Silva put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 18 points along with five boards.

Meanwhile, USC beat the Stanford Cardinal 85-75 on Saturday. USC's guard Boogie Ellis did his thing and shot 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 33 points and seven assists.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Buffaloes are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 6-13 against the spread when favored.

Colorado came up short against the Trojans in the teams' previous meeting in January, falling 68-61. Maybe Colorado will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
