No. 4 Buffs to meet No. 1 BYU in Big 12 tournament semifinals
Fresh off a win over the No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks on Monday, the No. 4 Colorado Buffaloes now set their sights on their next matchup against the No. 1 BYU Cougars in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.
BYU was on fire during the regular season, pulling out a very impressive record of 12-3-3 and was 8-1-2 in conference play.
The Cougars have had a rough tournament so far, though, as in the matchup against West Virginia, which has been their only matchup so far, they tied the Mountaineers, and the match had to be decided in a shootout, which BYU won.
The Buffaloes almost ended up in the same position in their matchup against Kansas, but Big 12 Midfielder of the Year Reagan Kotschau scored the game-winner with a little over a minute remaining.
The last time these two teams played each other was a little over a year ago, back in October of 2025. The matchup ended in a draw.
Colorado has a great record against higher-ranked teams this season, notably at home when they defeated then No. 10 West Virginia 1-0, and No. 7 Baylor 3-0.
Colorado’s only loss to a higher-ranked team came early in the season when they were away at Michigan State.
Kickoff for the semifinals is set for 3:30 p.m. MT (ESPN+).
