The 8-2 Colorado men’s basketball team looks to remain undefeated in Boulder and finish its non-conference schedule with a strong finish against the 3-9 Bellarmine Knights on Saturday.

The Buffs are on a three-game winning streak since Saturday with home wins over Pacific, Colorado State and South Dakota State. The cozy confines of the CU Events Center have given a much-needed boost to a Colorado team still working out the finer points of a new roster.

The Louisville, Kentucky-based Knights are 0-6 on the road in their home arena, with those losses coming by an average of 22.8 points. Bellarmine finished last in the Atlantic Sun Conference in the 2023-24 season and will be looking to pull off a major upset against the Buffs.

CU point guard Julian Hammond III had an impressive performance against South Dakota State on Dec. 13, scoring a career-high 23 points and contributing seven assists in the Buffs’ 81-70 win.

Meeting time at the CU Events Center is scheduled for Saturday at 1:00 p.m. MT (ESPN+). Colorado Football Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter will be honored at a pregame ceremony.
