About one month removed from defeating Washington by four points in Boulder to begin Pac-12 play, the Colorado men’s basketball team heads to Seattle on Wednesday for another matchup against the Huskies.
In that late December matchup, the Buffs rode their home crowd’s energy to victory despite being shorthanded. Eddie Lampkin Jr. and KJ Simpson played fantastic while the Colorado defense forced the Huskies into a poor shooting night.
Since that game, Colorado has gone 4-3 to Washington’s 3-4. Both teams have experienced ups and downs, and the Buffs have still yet to win away from Boulder.

Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. MT on ESPNU.
