LAST TIME OUT: TOREROS RALLY FROM 15 DOWN TO WIN IN OVERTIME
• Dusty Stromer banked in a pull-up 3-pointer at the regulation buzzer to tie it 82-82, and San Diego beat Tarleton State 96-90 in overtime on Friday night at the Jenny Craig Pavilion after trailing by as many as 15 points. It was USD's first overtime win since a 92-88 victory at Pepperdine on Jan. 28, 2026, and its first at the Jenny Craig Pavilion since a 68-63 win over Portland on Jan. 13, 2022.

• Tarleton State made its first four 3-pointers and shot 13 of 20 in the first half, building its largest lead at 42-27 with 3:27 left before the break. Jevon Hill made three 3-pointers in the half for the Toreros, who trailed 46-32 at halftime and for 34:05 of the game's 45 minutes.

• Stromer, who scored all 22 of his points after halftime, opened the second half with a pull-up jumper to start a 10-0 run, and Marqui Worthy Jr.'s floater capped it to cut the deficit to 46-42 with 17:38 left. After the Texans pushed their lead back to 55-45, Jevon Hill and Stromer hit back-to-back 3-pointers off Chace Holley feeds to make it 63-61, and Davion Hill's four straight free throws tied it 66-66 with 7:17 to go, the first tie since 6-6.

• Worthy's 3-pointer off a Holley assist gave USD its first lead, 71-69, with 5:41 left, and Holley's driving layup broke a 71-71 tie 31 seconds later. Davion Hill's layup made it 77-73 with 2:26 to play before Tarleton State answered with a 5-0 run, and after Jose Roberto Tanchyn's tip-in put the Toreros back in front 79-78 with 43 seconds left, the Texans hit a 3-pointer and a free throw for an 82-79 lead.

• Tarleton State missed two free throws with five seconds left, Davion Hill grabbed the rebound and, out of a timeout with two seconds on the clock, Stromer took a pass from Tanchyn and banked in the tying 3-pointer. San Diego never trailed in overtime: Stromer's layup off a Tanchyn assist opened the scoring, Holley had six of his career-high 13 points and the Toreros made all 10 of their free throws.

• Stromer (12 of 12) and Davion Hill (10 of 10) were perfect at the line as USD made 34 of 39 free throws, including 28 of 30 after halftime. Jevon Hill went 6 of 11 from 3-point range for 18 points, Davion Hill had 16 points and four assists, Holley added 13 points, four assists and three steals off the bench, and Worthy scored 10 to give USD five players in double figures.

• Tanchyn and Terry McMorris grabbed nine rebounds apiece, seven of McMorris' on the offensive end, as the Toreros out-rebounded the Texans 36-31, held an 18-9 edge on the offensive glass and scored 20 points off 18 Tarleton State turnovers. TJ Cope led Tarleton State with 20 points, Leroy Kelly IV added 19 and Franck Emmou 17, and the Texans shot 51.9 percent (27 of 52).

A NEW ERA TIPS OFF
• Blount's 2-0 start is tied for the third-best by a first-year USD head coach since 1956-57, the first season with game-by-game results in the record book, along with Bernie Bickerstaff (1969-70), Colorado assistant Bill Grier (2007-08) and Sam Scholl (2018-19). Hank Egan (1984-85) and Steve Lavin (2022-23) share the mark at 3-0, so a win Tuesday would tie it, and a win over Chicago State on Friday would make Blount the first USD coach in that span to open his tenure 4-0.

• Tuesday is USD's first regular-season road game under Blount and the first of two games against Big 12 opponents on its nonconference schedule, along with a Dec. 20 trip to Arizona State. He is no stranger to Colorado: Blount spent three seasons (2018-21) as an assistant at in-state rival Colorado State, and he was on Iowa State's staff for the Cyclones' 97-67 win over the Buffaloes in Ames on Jan. 29, 2026.

ABOUT COLORADO
• Colorado (1-1, 0-0 Big 12) opened Tad Boyle's 17th season with a 94-59 win over Abilene Christian at the CU Events Center on Nov. 2, then fell 77-66 to San Diego State on Saturday in the inaugural Bill Walton Classic at Pechanga Arena in San Diego. Tuesday is the Buffaloes' second home game.

• Fifth-year guard Barrington Hargress scored 33 points against the Aztecs, 22 of them after halftime, and was the only Buffalo in double figures. The 2023-24 Big West Freshman of the Year and a 2024-25 All-Big West first-team pick at UC Riverside, Hargress led the Big 12 in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.6) last season, set Colorado single-season records in that category and in 3-point percentage (48.1, 52-108) and has 1,643 career points.

• Sophomore guard Jalin Holland had a career-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting and six rebounds in the opener, when the Buffaloes shot 60.3 percent (35 of 58), outscored Abilene Christian 58-25 after halftime and out-rebounded the Wildcats 39-24. Graduate forward Justin Neely, who averaged 17.9 points and 11.5 rebounds at UNC Greensboro last season, and sophomore guard Josiah Sanders added 14 points apiece.

• Colorado went 17-16 and 7-11 in the Big 12 in 2025-26, losing to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament and to Oklahoma in overtime in the College Basketball Crown quarterfinals, and was picked tied for 14th in this season's Big 12 preseason coaches poll.

• Boyle, the program's all-time leader in coaching wins, is 330-221 at Colorado and 386-287 in 21 seasons as a head coach. His Colorado teams are 218-52 at home and 113-9 in home nonconference games.

• Colorado faces three WCC teams this season, also hosting Portland on Nov. 18 and Denver on Dec. 29.

ALL-TIME SERIES VS. COLORADO
• Colorado leads the all-time series 4-3 and is 3-1 against USD in Boulder. Tuesday is the eighth meeting and the first since Nov. 16, 2019, when No. 25 Colorado won 71-53 in its home opener.

• The Toreros won the two meetings before that: 69-59 in Boulder on Dec. 12, 2017, when Isaiah Wright scored 20 points and USD held Colorado to 25.9 percent shooting (14 of 54), and 70-64 at the Jenny Craig Pavilion on Nov. 20, 2018, behind Isaiah Pineiro's 27 points.

• The teams first met in 1986-87, a 61-51 USD win in San Diego. Colorado won the next three — 83-72 in Boulder in 1987-88, 89-82 in overtime in San Diego in 1990-91 and 71-63 in Boulder in January 1992 — and the programs didn't meet again for nearly 26 years.

FAMILIAR FACES
• Colorado assistant Bill Grier, in his 11th season on Tad Boyle's staff, was San Diego's head coach for eight seasons (2007-15). He went 117-144 and led the Toreros to the 2008 WCC Tournament title and a 70-69 overtime upset of No. 4 seed Connecticut in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, still the program's only Division I NCAA Tournament win. Grier was on Colorado's staff for each of the last three meetings, from 2017-19.

• Colorado guard Barrington Hargress and Marqui Worthy Jr. earned All-Big West honors at UC Riverside in back-to-back seasons — Hargress on the first team in 2024-25 before he transferred to Colorado, and Worthy as an honorable mention pick in 2025-26. Hargress and USD freshman Chace Holley are both from Inglewood, Calif.

• USD forward Alejandro Aviles and Colorado guard Jalin Holland both finished high school at Dream City Christian in Glendale, Ariz., in 2025.

• Jevon Hill (South Dakota) and Colorado center Noah Feddersen (North Dakota State) were Summit League rivals in 2023-24 and 2024-25.
