Colorado at Portland

Portland comes in at 4-2, while Colorado owns a 5-2 record on the season. The similarities end there. Portland has stepped up to take on UCLA and Dayton, and lost those two contests by an average of 16 points per game, but more importantly, they allowed the two teams to each shoot 54% or better. This was after allowing their first three opponents to shoot 30.7% from the field. It is pretty obvious that the 4-2 record has been tailored by an easy schedule. Colorado already owns a 14-point win vs. Texas, and has held all seven opponents to 43.4% shooting or less. Perhaps even more telling is the fact that Colorado is +8.7 per game off the glass, while Portland has only out-rebounded one team among their five Div-I opponents. Play on Colorado.
