STANFORD, Calif. — Basketball coaches and players are fond of saying "defense travels."
But for whatever reason, the No. 21/20 Colorado Buffaloes didn't have defense in their travel bags for their last outing, a 76-62 loss at Cal on Thursday.
Now the Buffs (21-8 overall, 10-6 Pac-12) need to make sure they pack their defense for Sunday's 4 p.m. game at Stanford (19-9, 8-7), where they are in need of a win not only to end a two-game skid, but also remain in the hunt for a top-four Pac-12 finish.
The game will be televised by ESPNU and broadcast by 760 AM and 93.
