West Virginia vs Colorado Prediction 

Colorado came into the Big 12 Tournament after finishing last in the conference standings, but they were able to survive against TCU on Tuesday and will look for another win here. The Buffaloes only had three conference wins this season, but they are shooting 44.8% from the field. West Virginia has won three of their last four games, but they have struggled to play consistently since early January. West Virginia did beat Colorado by a score of 78-70 earlier this year. The Mountaineers don’t shoot the ball very well from the field, but they are one of the better defensive teams in the conference and I think that will be the difference. Take West Virginia here.
