College basketball season is officially back in full swing, and programs representing the Centennial State experienced a diverse array of outcomes over the weekend. From dominant home court victories to tough road tests against powerhouse programs, here is a complete look at how Colorado’s Division I teams fared in their recent matchups.
Women’s Basketball: Home Cooking Leads the Way
Colorado’s women’s squads found plenty of success on their home floors, highlighted by impressive defensive displays and high-powered offensive surges.

Colorado 73, Fresno State 56: The Buffaloes put on a clinical performance at the CU Events Center. Sparked by strong interior play and steady defensive pressure, the Buffs controlled the tempo throughout to comfortably secure a 17-point victory over Fresno State.
-
Air Force 61, Saint Mary’s 37: Playing on their home court, the Falcons’ defense was suffocating from the opening tip. Air Force completely bottled up Saint Mary’s offense and cruised to a lopsided 24-point win.
-
Weber State 64, Denver 51: The Pioneers hit the road looking for an early-season statement win, but Weber State proved too tough to handle in Utah, pulling away in the second half to hand Denver a 13-point defeat.
-
Texas 91, Northern Colorado 21: The Bears ran into a formidable buzzsaw on the road against a powerhouse Texas squad.

San Diego State 77, Colorado 66: The Buffaloes men traveled to Southern California for a high-intensity clash against San Diego State. Despite a gritty effort, the Aztecs capitalized on late turnovers and local momentum to pull away for an 11-point victory.
-
UC Riverside 64, Denver 60: The Pioneers men put up a valiant fight down the stretch against UC Riverside, keeping it a one-possession game deep into the second half, but ultimately fell just short in a tight four-point heartbreaker.
