Colorado men’s basketball (9-8, 0-6 Big 12) has begun its conference slate winless through six games for the first time since 2016-17. On Tuesday, the Buffs will look to finally etch a win against the BYU Cougars (11-6, 2-4 Big 12) in Boulder.
BYU hasn’t had an ideal start to Big 12 play either, losing four of its last five games. On Saturday, the Cougars faltered on the road in overtime to the Utah Utes.
With Elijah Malone returning to action against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday, the Buffs may have the size needed to deal with BYU’s Keba Keita, the conference’s fifth-leading rebounder (8.5 per game). Within the Big 12, the Cougars are the third-best rebounding team (39.9 per game).
Colorado will also face freshman guard Egor Demin, who’s second in the conference in assists per game (5.7).
A late-night tipoff from the CU Events Center is set for 9 p.m. MT (ESPNU).
