Colorado, holding a 16-8 overall record and 7-5 in conference play, leads the all-time series against Houston 3-1. Their last meeting was a 66-58 win for Colorado during the first round of the 2025 Big 12 Championship in Kansas City.
The Buffaloes come into this game after an upset victory over then-No. 14 TCU, winning 80-79 at home. Senior forward Jade Masogayo scored a career-high 23 points in that game, including the decisive basket with five seconds left. Junior guard Desiree Wooten contributed 19 points and six assists, while freshman forward Logyn Greer added 17 points off the bench. Junior guard Zyanna Walker finished with 15 points and four steals.
Head coach JR Payne is in her tenth season leading Colorado and has compiled a record of 180-124. She has guided the team to three NCAA tournament appearances and has been extended through the 2028 season.
