TUCSON, AZ – Closing out their weekend action against Colorado (15-12, 7-9), No. 8 Arizona Basketball (23-4, 12-4) will look to beat the visiting Buffaloes.

Getting things back on track with a huge win over Utah on Thursday evening, No. 8 Arizona Basketball is back in action again, looking to close out the weekend on a high note as they take on Colorado.

Returning to the hardwood to face the visiting Buffaloes, the Wildcats are the heavy favorites in this one; however, as we have seen previously, sometimes the Wildcats get caught playing down to its competition, so this is another game in which Arizona cannot overlook its opponent.

For Arizona to win, it is going to take another solid offensive performance, and the defense will have to continue to bring a great effort if they are going to close out the weekend strong!

And with Arizona Basketball preparing for Colorado, here is how you can watch and follow their game.
