What to Know

The #16 Colorado Buffaloes and the Oregon State Beavers are even-steven against one another since January of 2016 (4-4), but not for long. Colorado and Oregon State will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 10 p.m. ET Saturday at Gill Coliseum. The contest is expected to be a close one, with Colorado going off at just a 2-point favorite.

The Buffaloes came up short against the Oregon Ducks on Thursday, falling 68-60. Guard Shane Gatling wasn't much of a difference maker for Colorado and finished with 11 points on 4-for-14 shooting in his 32 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Oregon State had enough points to win and then some against the Utah Utes on Thursday, taking their game 70-51. Oregon State relied on the efforts of guard Ethan Thompson, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 11 assists, and forward Kylor Kelley, who had 16 points along with nine boards.

Colorado is now 19-6 while the Beavers sit at 15-9. Two stats to keep an eye on: Colorado enters the matchup with 3.1 blocked shots per game on average, good for 30th best in college basketball. But Oregon State is even better: they rank ninth in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 5.2 on average. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
