No. 25 Colorado heads to Utah for a pair of Big 12 tests after sweeping Iowa State. The Buffaloes face No. 11 BYU on Thursday, then Utah on Sunday, looking to avenge earlier losses to both teams.

By the Numbers
  • Colorado is 13-4 overall and 4-3 in Big 12 play; BYU is 15-1 and 7-0, while Utah is 12-6 and 4-3.
  • The Buffaloes rank fourth nationally in blocks per set, averaging 2.98.
  • Against Iowa State, Ana Burilovic had 17 kills and hit .517; Jenna Ylivainio recorded 39 assists.
Yes, But

Colorado brings momentum and a strong blocking game, but faces a BYU team unbeaten in conference play and riding a five-match sweep streak. Utah is coming off back-to-back losses, yet remains a potent offense, leading the Big 12 in kills.

What's Next

Colorado visits BYU Thursday, Oct. 22, at 6:30 p.m. MT, then plays at Utah Sunday, Oct. 25, at 1 p.m. MT. Both matches will stream on ESPN+.

Bottom Line

The road swing is a major test of Colorado’s standing: a win over either conference rival would help the Buffaloes build on their Iowa State sweep and strengthen their position in the Big 12 race.
