We are still over 1 month away from the first game of the season (Nov 12th against Idaho St.), but I'm starting to get pumped for basketball. While I will cover the team IN DEPTH once the season starts, I wanted to throw this nugget out there: with the naming of Alec Burks and Corey Higgins to the preseason Wooden Award watch list, the Buffs join a select list of teams to have two players on what is essentially a list of the top 50 players in the nation. The other teams are Duke, Gonzaga, Michigan St., Purdue, and Syracuse. That's a hell of a list to be on for Colorado Basketball.
This team will be really entertaining to watch. Jeff Bzdelik has laid the talent foundation, and now Tad has to run with it. With a big year, and the new facilities, under our belts, recruiting should soar, and we may have the makings of a revival in Colorado hoops. I'm literally giddy about this.
