ABOUT THE BUFFS: CU is 20-8 overall and tied for third place in the Big 12 Conference with No. 24 Texas A&M at 12-6. The Buffs, who have eclipsed the 20-win plateau for the first time since 1998 (22-8), have won five straight and seven of their last eight matches.

CU, which has clinched a winning league record for the 15th time in 17 seasons, needs just one win this week to guarantee at least a tie for fourth place in the final league standings. An outright third-place finish would happen with two wins and a Texas A&M loss. One CU win and one Aggie loss would give CU a share of third place. Two wins this week would also give CU its best Big 12 record and finish since 1998 (14-6, third). Currently, the lowest the Buffs could finish would be a tie for fifth. CUGÇÖs only two sub-.500 league campaigns came in 1987 (3-9) -- its second season of varsity competition and first in the Big Eight -- and 2002 (9-11).
