Colorado at Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Interstat) — The No. 1-ranked Colorado Buffaloes, fresh off a dominant season-opening win, will face their first road test of the young season against the Louisville Cardinals on Wednesday night at the KFC Yum! Center.
Colorado (1-0) opened its campaign with an emphatic 84-59 victory over New Mexico last Thursday. The Buffaloes were led by a powerful double-double from forward Anaëlle Dutat, who scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Jade Crook added 12 points and seven rebounds in the win.
Louisville (1-1) looks to rebound on its home court after splitting its first two contests. The Cardinals fell to Connecticut 79-66 on Nov. 4 before bouncing back with an 89-61 win over Northern Kentucky on Sunday. Guard Tajianna Roberts poured in 23 points in the victory, while Reyna Scott added 13.
The matchup pits Colorado’s formidable frontcourt against a Louisville backcourt looking to establish consistency. The game is the first of a challenging two-game stretch for the Cardinals, who travel to face Clemson on Sunday. Colorado continues a homestand against Portland State on Sunday following Wednesday’s contest.
