Colorado Buffaloes
The Colorado Buffaloes have struggled in their first season in the Big 12, losing their last seven games and remaining the only winless team in conference play. Despite an early upset win against #2 UConn, they have been unable to replicate that success. Led by top scorer and playmaker Julian Hammond III, the Buffaloes have relied heavily on his 13.7 PPG and outside shooting abilities. With only one other player, Andrej Jakimovski, averaging double figures in scoring, the team has faced challenges on the offensive end. Defensively, they are ranked 78th in efficiency and 226th overall. Colorado's statistics show an average offense, shooting 45.97% from the field and 34.15% from three-point range, while defensively they allow opponents to shoot 42.91% from the field and 33.41% from beyond the arc. Their overall record of 9-9 does not currently project them to make the NCAA Tournament according to Bracketology.
