Meanwhile, Grambling took their game against the UNT Dallas Trailblazers on Monday by a conclusive 82-57 score.

This next contest looks promising for Colorado, who are favored by a full 15.5 points. Those taking them against the spread are banking on an outcome similar to that of the team's matchup on Monday, where they covered an 11.5-point spread.
