THE BUFFALOES: Colorado is 1-1 overall, opening its season with a 94-59 win over Abilene Christian at the CU Events Center on Nov. 2, before falling to San Diego State, 77-66, in the National University Bill Walton Classic at the Pechanga arena in San Diego on Nov. 7.

Fifth-year guard Barrington Hargress led Colorado against San Diego State with 33 points, his most in a Buffaloes' uniform and second-most in his collegiate career. He had 40 points against UC San Diego, while with UC Riverside, on Jan. 18, 2025.

Hargress hit the 30-point mark for the fifth time in his career and second at Colorado, after scoring 31 against Oklahoma in last season's College Basketball Crown. It was his sixth game at Colorado with at least 20 points and 25th overall.

Hargress also tied a career high with five 3-pointers, hitting that mark for the third time, second at Colorado.

After pitching in 11 points in the opener, Hargress is Colorado's leading scorer through two games at 22.0 points per contest, hitting 52 percent from the field and 62 percent from 3-point range.

Second-year guard Jalin Holland is averaging 12.0 points and leads the Buffaloes with four steals. He recorded career highs with 18 points, eight field goals and 12 field goal attempts against Abilene Christian. It was his fourth career double-figure scoring game and second time as CU's leading scorer. Holland also led the way on the boards with six rebounds.

Classmate Josiah Sanders is right behind him at 11.0 points per game. Sanders had career highs with 14 points, eight free throws made and nine free throw attempts against Abilene Christian, which put him nearly a third of the way to his free throws made output from 33 games a year ago. Sanders made both attempts against San Diego State, improving to 10 of 11 on the season (.909) after making just 51.9 percent from the line in 2025-26.

Sixth-year forward Justin Neely made his first CU start against San Diego State. Neely is averaging 9.5 points and 4.5 rebounds, hitting 54.5 percent from the field.

Ian Inman, making his second career start in the opener, scoring nine points, dishing out three assists and recording his first collegiate blocked shot.

Fifth-year post Noah Feddersen had 10 points, five rebounds and a blocked shot against Abilene Christian while playing in his 100th overall career game. Feddersen passed the 500-rebound plateau vs. Abilene Christian (501) and is 163 points away from 1,000 in his career.

First-year guard Alex Dickeson leads the Buffaloes in both rebounds (11) and assists (seven) through two contests while averaging 7.5 points. In his collegiate debut, he had nine points, five rebounds and a team-best six assists. Dickeson led Colorado with six rebounds against San Diego State while pitching in six points.

ABOUT THE TOREROS: San Diego is 2-0, opening the season with a pair of home wins against Biola, 79-62 on Nov 2, and Tarleton State, a 96-90 overtime thriller on Nov. 6.

Against Tarleton State, senior guard Dusty Stromer banked in a 3-pointer at the regulation buzzer to send the game into overtime, helping the Toreros erase a 15-point deficit and take the game in the extra session.

Stromer had 22 points against Tarleton State and leads San Diego in scoring through two games at 17 points an outing. Guards Marqui Worthy and Davion Hill are both averaging 12.5 points. Hill has also dished out four assists per contests and is a perfect 11 of 11 from the line.

USD has benefited from getting to the charity stripe, hitting 51 of 62 free throw attempts (.823). The Toreros have outrebounded their first two opponents by 7.5 boards per game and are averaging 7.0 steals per contest.

San Diego is led by first-year head coach JR Blount, who happens to be plenty familiar with the Buffaloes. Blount came to USD after five years as an assistant coach at Iowa State (2021-26), and prior to that spending three seasons as an assistant at Colorado State (2018-21).

THE SERIES: This will be the eighth meeting between Colorado and San Diego with the Buffaloes holding a 4-3 series lead. The series resumes for the first time since a three-game set from 2017-19 that saw the Toreros take the first two before the Buffaloes came out on top in the final matchup, 71-53, in Boulder on Nov. 16, 2019. Colorado has won three of four all-time meetings at the CU Events Center.

GRIER AT USD: Current Colorado assistant coach Bill Grier won 117 games in eight seasons as the head coach at San Diego from 2007-15. He led the Toreros to the 2008 West Coast Conference Tournament championship, and rode that momentum into the NCAA Tournament with a first-round upset of No. 4 seed Connecticut - the only NCAA Tournament win in school history.

Grier led San Diego to six wins over top 25 teams, took down Kentucky in Rupp Arena and racked up eight All-West Coast Conference selections and nine WCC All-Academic Team nods during his tenure. Grier finished his time in San Diego with a 117-144 record, including 51 WCC wins, which ranks 24th in the conference's history.
