Colorado College and Colorado Mesa are the Centennial State’s league leaders in women’s collegiate basketball entering this week’s action, with Northern Colorado challenging in their conference, as each school posted a pair of wins last weekend.

Colorado College (4-0, 9-4) is playing Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference games in Arkansas at Hendrix College (3-1, 7-5) on Friday and at the University of the Ozarks (0-4, 5-8) on Saturday.  Of the four Tiger setbacks this season, three have been three points or less.

The Tigers have won their last 16 regular-season SCAC games since losing 76-65 at Texas Lutheran on January 12, 2025. 

CC is tied atop of the SCAC’s gold division with both McMurry (10-2) and Texas Lutheran (10-4). The Tigers host McMurry on January 23 and Texas Lutheran on February 15. CC plays at Texas Lutheran on February 1 and McMurry on February 6.

Winners of 13 straight games, Colorado Mesa (6-0, 16-1) plays Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference contests at Western Colorado (4-2, 6-6) on Tuesday in Gunnison before entertaining Westminster (0-6, 3-9) on Thursday in Grand Junction.

The Mavericks have now won 25 consecutive regular-season games, with their last RMAC regular-season loss coming on December 12, 2024, 63-61 at Regis in Denver.  Ranked 10th in last week’s Women’s Basketball Coaches Association poll, the Mavericks’ lone setback was 85-70 at seventh-ranked West Texas A&M in Canyon on November 14.  The Texas school is 15-1 this season.

Northern Colorado (3-1, 12-5) posted a pair of road wins in Idaho and Utah this past weekend to move into a second-place tie with Idaho State (3-1, 10-5) in the Big Sky Conference behind leader Montana State (4-0, 11-4).

The Bears host Portland State (1-2, 5-10) on Thursday and Sacramento State (2-1, 8-8) on Saturday in Greeley.  UNC won at Idaho State 67-56 last Thursday after falling to Montana State 86-79 a week earlier in Greeley.
