BYU looks to complete a 2-0 week when they welcome Colorado to the Marriott Center on Saturday afternoon. This game also marks the jersey retirement ceremony for BYU legend Jimmer Fredette, so the crowd should have some extra energy. BYU is coming off a much-needed win at Baylor, while Colorado has lost 8 of their last 10 games and is struggling on both ends of the floor.

Why it matters

This is BYU's easiest remaining game before they finish the season with five Quad 1 matchups and a Quad 2 game. A comfortable win would be a big boost for BYU's postseason hopes. Meanwhile, Colorado is in a rut and needs to turn things around quickly to salvage their season.

The details

Colorado is the youngest team in the Big 12, playing just one senior and up to eight true freshmen. As a team, they are middle of the road offensively and towards the bottom defensively in Big 12 play. Baylor is one of the most turnover-prone teams in the league, but Colorado is one of the best at taking care of the ball. Defensively, the Buffs struggle to defend the three-point line and are foul prone.

  • The game tips off at 2:00 MT on FS1 on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
