Buffs Set For Challenge From Bears Big Men

BOULDER — Tad Boyle's Colorado Buffaloes face a very big challenge Wednesday when they play host to the Cal Bears in a 9 p.m. game at the Coors Events Center (ESPNU).

That's "big" in the very literal sense. Not only do the Bears have 7-foot-1, 267-pound center Kingsley Okoroh up front, he is joined on the front line by 6-foot-11, 225-pound Marcus Lee. The pair, along with 6-7 forward Justice Sueing, are the main reason Cal leads the Pac-12 in offensive rebounds, averaging 14.4 offensive boards per game — nearly five more than any other team in the league.
