Colorado is taking its first road trip of the season Wednesday night, heading to San Diego State for an 8 p.m. MT matchup at Viejas Arena.
The Buffs arrive in San Diego at 2-0 after opening the 2026-27 season with two home wins. Colorado rolled past Morgan State 83-38 on Nov. 4, then followed that with a 73-56 victory over Fresno State on Nov.
- Now comes the first chance to see how that early momentum travels.
Sophomore forward Logyn Greer has been the early engine for CU, averaging 18 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. She turned in a career-high 24 points against Fresno State. Senior guard Kennedy Sanders has handled the playmaking load, leading the team with 4.5 assists per game.
Colorado has been efficient on both ends so far, shooting 46.6% from the floor while holding opponents to 31.6%. The Buffs have also controlled the glass through two games, averaging 43.5 rebounds with a 13.5-board margin.
San Diego State brings a 3-0 record into the game after winning its first three contests. Natalia Martinez leads the Aztecs in scoring at 14.5 points per game, and Bailey Barnhard paces the team on the boards with seven rebounds per game. SDSU is shooting 47.3% and has limited opponents to 26.7%, the best mark in the Pac-12 Conference.
Colorado leads the all-time series 2-1. The Buffs’ only loss in the matchup came in the first meeting, a 71-55 San Diego State win on Jan. 9, 1981, in San Diego. The teams last played on Nov. 24, 2012, in Boulder, where Colorado won 67-53.
Stacie Terry-Hutson is in her 14th season leading San Diego State and owns a 209-201 record with the Aztecs.

Colorado Recruiting Suddenly Has A Deion Sanders Problem
Colorados 2027 recruiting class has taken a hit late in the cycle, with three verbal commits backing off their pledges in recent days. Three-star tackle LiMarcus Jones has already flipped to Mississippi State, while linebacker Jahmiere Portis-Daniels and wide receiver Ryan Ferdinand have also decommitted, leaving the Buffaloes to regroup as the class comes into sharper focus.
For a program that has leaned heavily on momentum and visibility under Deion Sanders, the timing makes this a notable stretch. Sanders has acknowledged the situation, but he has kept his attention on the players already in the building and has brushed aside any concern about his own job security, even as the recruiting board suddenly looks a little less stable than it did earlier in the cycle.

Arizona State Just Helped Expose A Colorado Crisis Deion Can't Ignore
The loss to Arizona State left Colorado in a spot it can no longer afford to shrug off. With the Buffaloes now needing to win out just to reach bowl eligibility, the margin for error has disappeared, and the frustration around a season that has not matched the talent on the roster is only growing. What was supposed to be a step forward has instead turned into a reminder that potential means little without results.
Deion Sanders is now coaching under heavier scrutiny, with the conversation around his future only getting louder as the losses pile up and the financial realities of a major buyout loom in the background. The bigger concern for Colorado may be what this slide says about the program itself, from recruiting misses to underachievement on the field, because the issues go beyond one bad night in Tempe and into the foundation of what Sanders is trying to build.

DeAndre Moore Jr. Just Reframed Colorados Biggest Offensive Problem
Colorados offensive frustrations have been easy to spot during the recent skid, but DeAndre Moore Jr. pushed the conversation in a different direction when he spoke with reporters. The wide receiver said the issue is less about the coaching staff or the system and more about the players executing it, a notable defense of offensive coordinator Brennan Marions Go-Go scheme at a time when the Buffaloes are searching for answers.
Moores comments came with the season still hanging in the balance and a bowl chase still in view, even as the losses pile up. On a personal level, he has continued to produce and is on pace to top his previous receiving marks, which only adds to the contrast between his individual progress and the offenses broader inconsistency.
