Colorado is ranked 58th in the KenPom rankings. The team is averaging 106.8 points per 100 possessions (143rd) but has been outstanding defensively, allowing 93.7 points per 100 possessions (19th). Colorado is 67th in the nation in points allowed per game at 65.6 and has continued that in conference play, allowing 62.5 points per game. However, this is not a great team offensively, averaging 65.0 points per game in Pac-12 play while shooting just 42.1%.
