Buffs Hope To Keep Turnovers To Minimum Against Ducks

BOULDER — When 16th-ranked Colorado (No. 15 coaches poll) heads to Oregon on Thursday for a matchup with the No. 17 Ducks, the Buffaloes know they will see a raucous Matthew Knight Arena crowd.

What the Buffs (19-5, 8-3) don't want to do is allow that crowd to help the Ducks (18-6, 7-4) build a head of steam. That means taking care of the ball and playing solid defense — two things Colorado did quite well in their first meeting of the year, a 74-65 win in Boulder in early January.

In that game, the Buffs held Oregon to 44.
