CU Buffs Women’s Basketball Hosts Montana State in Key Matchup
UPDATE: The Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball team is back in action TODAY as they host the Montana State Bobcats at 1 p.m. EST in the CU Events Center in Boulder, Colorado. This matchup marks the start of a crucial five-game home stand for the Buffs, who are looking to bounce back after a challenging trip to Hawaii.
After a 2-1 record at the Hawaii North Shore Showcase, Colorado (5-2) faces a formidable opponent in Montana State (4-1), the preseason favorite to win the Big Sky Conference. The Bobcats, fresh off a loss to Troy, are determined to reclaim their momentum as they aim for a strong showing this season.
The Buffaloes are seeking to improve their performance after suffering a 59-46 loss to Texas A&M on Tuesday. They struggled offensively, recording a season-high 24 turnovers and hitting only 25.0% of their three-point attempts during the tournament. The team will need to regain their shooting touch and tighten their defense to secure a win today.
As the Buffs prepare for the Bobcats, they bring a perfect 3-0 home record this season. Historically, CU has dominated this matchup, boasting a 5-0 record against Montana State, although the teams have not met since December 22, 1995.
Key players to watch include Colorado’s Anaelle Dutat, averaging 9.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, and Montana State’s Taylee Chirrick, who leads her team with 19.6 points per game. Both teams are eager to make their mark in this early-season clash, with the stakes high for both sides.
