The UCLA Bruins are rolling toward a Pac-12 title thanks to a little help from the Colorado Buffaloes. If the Bruins want to stay atop the conference standings, they will need to show their appreciation by beating Colorado on Saturday night.

UCLA (17-5, 13-3 Pac-12) has won four in a row and is coming off a 76-61 win at Utah on Thursday night, a game that was less stressful than its comeback win against Arizona State last weekend. The Bruins are a half-game ahead of USC, and that margin is courtesy of the Buffaloes beating the Trojans 80-62 in Boulder on Thursday night.

Colorado (18-7, 12-6) still has faint hopes of capturing its first Pac-12 title, and a win over UCLA would help that cause. The Buffaloes already set a program high for Pac-12 wins and don't want to let up with two games left in the regular season. They are already assured of finishing at least fourth in the standings, which means they get a first-round bye in the conference tournament in Las Vegas.
