Stanford vs Colorado Prediction
Stanford is coming into this game as a 5.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams have been playing well to start their seasons. Colorado won their last game but their shooting was not that great in that game and that could become a problem here if they do not fix it. Colorado does not play the greatest defense so they will need to shoot well to pull away from Stanford in this game but Stanford shot well in their last game and has been consistent all season. The best bet to place in this game is on Stanford to cover the spread here.
Stanford Colorado Prediction: Our NCAAB Pick for Sunday, November 28, 2021 (7:00 pm ET start time) is Colorado 72 Stanford 69.

Notable Quotes
“The second half we were completely overwhelmed. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the turnovers, transition baskets because of that just changed the whole tone of the game.” - Jerod Haase on his team’s loss against Baylor.
“That’s what we talked about after the game. That’s why we have the identity that we have, so you can figure out how to win games like this. Again, Southern Illinois scored 67 on us. They scored 47 on Northeastern. Well, if we can hold them to 47, we’ve got a chance to play for a championship. But we didn’t. That’s what our guys have to understand.” - Tad Boyle on his team needing to play better defense.
