Both teams have had pretty tough opponents in non-conference -- with both having a Top 25 strength-of-schedule so far. Colorado has come out better on that so far, but both teams can have streaks of VERY good and pretty bad. Consistency is not a characteristic of these teams just yet.

It's anyone's guess on these two matches since these teams are so up-and-down.

CSU should be the better team -- with more experienced starters on the floor... but CU has slightly outperformed expectations and CSU has underperformed so far.
