The Colorado Buffaloes return home to the CU Events Center on Saturday afternoon, looking to build off an opening win when they host the Eastern Washington Eagles. Tip-off is at 4:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+. Colorado opened the season with a strong offensive showing, while Eastern Washington continues to search for its first win after dropping two close road games to UCLA and Loyola Marymount. From buzzer-beaters to spreads, we’ve locked in sharp college basketball picks.

Colorado Team Breakdown

Colorado’s offense looked strong in its 84-78 win over Montana State, powered by Isaiah Johnson’s 24 points on 66.7% shooting. The Buffaloes shot 51.9% from the field and finished with 17 assists, showing good ball movement and spacing. Rebounding was another positive sign as Colorado held a 33-30 edge on the glass, helping them win the game with important defensive rebounds late. The Buffaloes still need to improve on defense after allowing 78 points, but pace and a solid offense make them a tough team to slow down at home, where they went 11-7 last season.

Eastern Washington Team Breakdown

Eastern Washington enters this matchup 0-2 after a pair of road losses where competitive efforts didn’t translate into wins. The Eagles are averaging 68.0 points per game while shooting a respectable 47.2% from the floor, but the 30.5 rebounds and 17.5 assists per game haven’t been enough to overcome defensive problems. Isaac Moses has been the most consistent threat, averaging 15.0 points per game, while the backcourt has shown playmaking abilities. The challenge will be sustaining that production against a more athletic and talented Buffaloes team.

Eastern Washington vs Colorado Prediction

The Eagles’ offense will need to maintain its shooting and avoid extended scoring droughts. However, Colorado’s overall play and home-court advantage suggest the Buffaloes can dictate tempo and control the paint. Johnson’s scoring, combined with support from Colorado’s starters, gives them a reliable inside-out game that Eastern Washington may struggle to contain. Colorado’s offense should again find success, but Eastern Washington’s slower pace and shooting inconsistency could keep the total under. The Buffaloes’ talent and home court advantage make them the safer side against a winless Eagles squad.
