For the first time all season, the No. 4 Colorado women’s basketball team will be looking for revenge with No. 17 Oregon State coming to Boulder on Sunday.
The Beavers (19-3, 8-3 Pac-12) handed the Buffs (20-3, 10-2) their most recent loss on Jan. 26 in Corvallis, 68-62. Colorado made a season-low 19 field goals in that game but did convert a season-high 21 free throws.
Fortunately for the Buffs, they delivered arguably their most impressive offensive performance of the year on Friday in a 90-57 slaughtering of Oregon. Colorado had a season-high 32 assists, including a program-record 19 in the first half, and Maddie Nolan went off for 19 points.
Entering Sunday, both Oregon State and Colorado are riding four-game winning streaks.
“Oregon State’s one of the hottest teams in the country right now,” CU head coach JR Payne said in her postgame press conference on Friday. “They’re really deep, they’re big, they can score, they can defend, so we’re definitely excited for that challenge.”
Colorado will get things going against the visiting Beavers on Sunday at noon MT (Pac-12 Network).
