Colorado, UCF hook up looking to end losing skids

Colorado and Central Florida started the Big 12 Conference schedule strong but have both stumbled lately. The two slumping teams meet in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday, each trying to end its slide.

The Buffaloes (12-7, 2-4 Big 12) started league play with a pair of wins but have dropped four in a row since, most recently at home to No. 19 Kansas 75-69 on Tuesday. Colorado's two home losses in the conference have come against ranked teams -- Texas Tech, then No. 14, won in Boulder 73-71 on Jan.
