Five keys to Colorado beating Stanford on senior night

Colorado can’t afford to overlook a struggling Stanford squad

Colorado men’s basketball seniors Tristan da Silva and Luke O’Brien will be playing their final regular season game at the CU Events Center on Sunday night against Stanford.

The Cardinal (12-16, 7-11) sit 10th in the Pac-12 standings, having lost seven of its last eight games. In what will be Colorado’s (19-9, 10-7) first and only regular season meeting with Stanford, the Buffs will be looking to win their fourth straight.

The Buffs sit fourth in the conference and remain on the cusp of March Madness. With the final three games of the season bringing great importance, the KJ Simpson-led Buffaloes look to take care of a reeling Stanford squad while sending their seniors off with a win in their last home game.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. MT on FS1.
