Colorado Buffaloes vs Oregon State Beavers prediction
The Colorado Buffaloes are obviously the better team, and they smoked Oregon State back in January by a score of 90-57. I get it. However, Colorado has also cooled off over the last few weeks and isn’t great on the road, where it’s 3-7 SU. Oregon State has seen 12 of its 13 wins this season come at home, and the Gill Coliseum should be packed for senior night. If there’s a game the Oregon State Beavers can get up for and make interesting, it would probably be this one. I’ll take a stab with the free buckets and the Beavers.
