Colorado men’s basketball stat leaders entering February

As the calendar turns to February, the 15-6 Colorado men’s basketball team remains in strong contention for its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2021. Yes, the Buffs have played below expectations so far, but their season will ultimately be judged by what they accomplish over the next two months.

On an individual level, several Buffs players are having huge years. KJ Simpson earned a spot on the late-season John R. Wooden Award watch list, true freshman Cody Williams is performing like a first-round NBA draft pick and J’Vonne Hadley remains one of the Pac-12’s most underrated players.
