After completing the regular season sweep of Washington on Wednesday, the Colorado men’s basketball team (15-5, 6-3 in Pac-12) heads across the state to Pullman to try and do the same against Washington State (14-6, 5-4) on Saturday.
The Buffs are coming off their first road win of conference play and are now riding a four-game winning streak. For head coach Tad Boyle, all five of his starters are now healthy. The Buffs were without Cody Williams and Tristan da Silva on New Year’s Eve but still got past the Cougars, 74-67.
