Richard Roby now the elder statesmen for Team Colorado
A lot of things in life can remind you of your age. Be it the next generation getting older or a player from your years at the University of Colorado referring to himself as a bridge player for younger guys on the team.
Richard Roby joined the Buffs men’s basketball team in 2004, one year before I started attending the university. During his time at Colorado, Roby becomes a dynamic scorer, eventually breaking the program’s all-time scoring mark, which Cory Higgins would tie soon after.
Roby is back wearing the black and gold, this time with Team Colorado in its return to The Basketball Tournament. I asked him about his previous experience in TBT and what this time around will look like for him:
“This is my fourth time playing. We had the first three years with the older group.” Roby said. “Now, the younger guys want to do it and so I’m just kind of here to be able to help, but it’s about them. It’s not about me. It’s about helping to bridge the gap. I’ll give what I can, but I’m really excited to watch the young guys take over.”
