PICK: I’m going to stick with Colorado here. The Buffaloes were trailing 37-30 at the break in the Saturday game, but struck back with a 40-22 advantage in the second half on the way to the victory. Colorado was out-rebounded 31-30, but bagged 15 assists, six blocks and just 11 turnovers to help them turn the tide. This should be another great game, and I like the Buffaloes to eke out a cover.
