Colorado had a less than impressive home record last year, especially in conference play. Boyle has stated this year they are making it an emphasis to protect home court. While every team uses that mantra, Colorado is much more experienced this year and appear to be taking this to heart. Josh Scott is one of the most underrated big men in the country. He played hurt all year last year w/ a bad back and is finally healthy. He has stated more than a few times that he is ready to go up against Poeltl. Utah could be w/out Kuzma tonight and even if he plays I imagine it'll be limited minutes. Utes are certainly capable, as we have seen in their win against Duke, but w/out Wright this year, they don't seem to have 'that guy', other than Poeltl, who frankly has been contained lately.
Utah will come out hungry considering they have not won a conf game yet, so I expect this to be a dog fight. Both teams play a similar style. The line itself and the movement scares me, as I expected this to be a little higher w/ game in Boulder, but I like the Buffs tonight. I think Scott comes to play w/ a real purpose. Epic front court battle in the making and should be fun to watch.
