Colorado is reeling right now, having lost four straight conference games and six of their last eight overall.
The Buffs will host Themus Fulks and UCF, who are looking to avenge their blowout loss to Iowa State.
3 keys to Colorado beating UCF
Look for quality shots
When you look at the team statistics for these two, they're remarkably similar across the board—including points per game and opponents' points per game.
Colorado will need to improve its shooting efficiency, especially after its field goal percentage dropped over the past four conference games.
Colorado only lost by six to Kansas at home, but they hurt their own chances by shooting just 35.7% from the field and a dismal 29% from three (9-of-31).
Show some fight on the boards
It's time for this Colorado team to wake up on the glass and start showing some fight.
During their four-game conference losing streak, opponents have averaged 38 rebounds per game compared to Colorado's 27.5.
UCF ranks 5th in the Big 12, averaging 38.5 rebounds per game, while Colorado sits at 13th with 35.9.
Colorado will need junior forward Bangot Dak to step up and make the difference in this department Saturday afternoon.
End the losing streak
The atmosphere Tuesday night against Kansas was electric at the CU Events Center, and Colorado's fans will need to bring that same energy to help this team get back in the win column.
Colorado will need a little more production out of starting forward Sebastian Rancik, who is averaging just nine points per contest over Colorado's last four games.
Colorado will also need more production from their bench now that head coach Tad Boyle has moved freshman point guard Isaiah Johnson into the starting lineup.
Felix Kossaras, Josiah Sanders, and Jalin Holland need to step up and help Alon Michaeli, who's been shouldering the load.
Colorado will need to keep their eyes on players like Themus Fulks, who ranks second in the Big 12 and sixth nationally with 7.2 assists per game, and UCF's leading scorer Riley Kugel, who averages 14.6 points per contest.
