Tad Boyle and the Buffs are radiating with excitement in the lead-up to the 2023-2024 basketball season. Last year’s squad was plagued by inconsistencies, turnovers and injuries that delivered an 8th-place finish in the Pac-12 with a regular season record of 18-17. While the arrivals of former TCU Horned Frog Eddie Lampkin and a talented freshmen class led by five-star…

When Jabari Walker and Evan Battey left the…

Following KJ Simpson’s game-winner against Washington State, CU looked to capitalize on that big-time moment and start a new win streak in their trip up to Oregon. The Ducks and Beavers had different plans. Colorado finished their latest road trip 0-2, losing both contests in close efforts.
