THE BUFFALOES: Colorado will face Oklahoma looking for itsfirst road win since a 56-51 decision at Missouri on Jan. 18, 2005.A trip away from the Coors Events Center may just help the Buffa-loes pull out of a mini scoring slump.
After averaging 75.9 points and hitting 43 percent from the fieldover the first 10 games of the season, the Buffs averaged just 63.3points over the last three home games while shooting only 35.6percent.
Saturday will be just the third actual road game for the Buffaloesthis season (All three San Juan Shootout games were on a neutralcourt). CU played well in its two road games, having a chance toeither tie or take the lead in the closing minutes of each contest.Colorado is averaging 77.5 points and shooting 43 percent on theroad this year, but is also giving up 81.5 points per outing whilethe opponent is shooting 48 percent, not just from the field, butfrom 3-point range as well. CU will also look to cure the turnoverbug on the road as it has given up 38 in its two early road matchups.
Sophomore post Jackie McFarland is averaging a double-doubleover the first 13 contests. She ranks fifth in the Big 12 in scoring at19.2 points per game and is fourth in rebounds at 10.2 per con-test. Junior Jasmina Ilic is seventh in the Big 12 at 18.9 points pergame, and has scored at least 20 points in five of the last 10 out-ings, including a 36-point performance against Nebraska.McFarland and Ilic have scored 20 or more points in the samegame four times this season and the Buffs are 3-1 in those outings(lone loss at Creighton). After a relatively slow start, junior forwardAnna Nedovic is heating up. She has hit 48.3 percent from thefloor the last 10 games (28x58) after hitting only 16.7 percent overthe first three games (3x18). Colorado’s back-court trio of seniorWhitney Law and sophomores Lauren Lubin and Yari Escalerahave put up some impressive numbers. Law, who returned to ac-tion against Nebraska after missing the previous two games, re-corded a career-high 22 points against Colorado State and ranksfourth among Big 12 players in assists with 4.9 per game. Escalera,the second-best foul shooter in the Big 12 at 90.7 percent, had acareer-high seven assists and scored 14 second-half points againstSouth Dakota State. Lubin, who has started the last 10 games, ishitting nearly 50 percent from the field as a starter (18x38) and issecond on the team in assists and rebounding. Escalera (.907),Lubin (.842) and Ilic (.791) each rank in among the top 15 free-throw shooters in the Big 12.
Colorado’s freshman duo of forward Caley Dow and guard HannahSkildum are getting some key minutes off the bench for the Buffa-
loes. Dow is averaging 15.4 minutes a game and has at least fourrebounds in 10 of 13 contests. Skildum has scored in eight of thelast nine games and has recorded at least one rebound in all 13outings and one assist in 11 of 13 games.
LAST TIME OUT: Colorado’s Jasmina Ilic scored a career-high36 points but Nebraska’s 55.2 percent performance from the fieldwas the difference maker in the Huskers’ 80-62 victory over theBuffaloes Wednesday night at the Coors Events/Conference Cen-ter in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.
Colorado falls to 5-8 overall and is 4-6 all-time in Big 12 openers.Nebraska improves to 9-3 overall, breaking a 21-game losing streakagainst CU in Boulder that dated back to the 1985-86 season.
Ilic hit 12-of-25 from the field – both career highs – and 8-for-11from the free-throw line. Her 36 points mark the third best single-game total in team history. Susan Horner and Tracy Tripp sharethe single-game school mark at 38. Ilic, who also had a personal-best five steals, is the first player in CU history to score 33 or morepoints twice in the same season. She had 34 against Cal-StateFullerton in the season opener.
Despite Ilic’s career-night, the Buffaloes shot only 37.5 percentfrom the field and made only one field goal in a critical eight-minutestretch that spanned the last six minutes of the first half and the
