*10* MASSACRE on Colorado.

The Colorado Buffaloes are coming off a double-digit home win over Oregon State on Wednesday, and they host the Oregon Ducks here on Sunday night. The Ducks won big at Utah on Thursday, setting them for a let down on the road tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Colorado Defense - The Buffaloes held Oregon State to 18-of-61 shooting (29.5%), and they blocked 10 shots in that game. Six of those blocks were credited to 6'9 forward Wesley Gordon, who also cleaned up on the boards with 14 rebounds.

2. Home Cookin' - The Buffaloes have a 9-1 record at home this season, and they've won three straight at home versus Oregon dating back to 2012. The home team has covered the spread in four straight in this series.

3. X-Factor - Colorado should own the boards, averaging more than 42 rebounds per game at home. The Ducks have averaged less than 30 rebounds per game on the road.

Selection: This is a play on the Colorado Buffaloes (10*)
