Breaking down Colorado men’s basketball’s 2023-24 nonconference schedule
With five-star incoming freshman Cody Williams and TCU transfer Eddie Lampkin Jr. joining an already strong core, this upcoming season is expected to be fruitful for the Colorado men’s basketball program.
The Buffs are landing on various preseason top 25 rankings and if they can stay healthy, head coach Tad Boyle’s squad should make some noise in their final Pac-12 season. An NCAA Tournament run would also be welcomed ahead of Colorado’s return to the Big 12.
