Women’s basketball: CU Buffs ranked among top 25 in preseason polls

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:04:19 GMT

For years, the Colorado women’s basketball team has had to scratch and fight for wins and respect.Based on the national rankings released Tuesday, the Buffaloes now have that respect, but the fight to climb won’t change as they gear up for the 2023-24 campaign.Coming off its first Sweet 16 appearance in 20 years, CU landed at No. 20 in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll and No. 18 in the USA Today Coaches’ poll.“Honestly, I don’t really worry about that too much,” head coach JR Payne said at CU’s annual basketball media day on Tuesday. “We’ve recruited a bunch of players with these massive chips on their shoulder, people that were under recruited, they don’t have any stars next to their names out of the recruiting process, and we like it that way.“We have a bunch of players that love to be an underdog and love to be sort of overlooked and love to have something prove. Whether we were ranked No. 1 or not ranked at all, it’s just built in our DNA that we want to prove people w...

Men’s basketball: Committee approach on the glass on deck for CU Buffs

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:04:19 GMT

As is almost always the case under head coach Tad Boyle, Colorado expects to be a strong rebounding team this season.Exactly who will lead that charge on the glass remains to be seen. More likely, and much like last season, it will be a rebounding-by-committee approach for the 2023-24 Buffs.On Tuesday at the CU Events Center, Boyle held court at Colorado’s annual basketball media day amid heightening expectations for his club. After being selected fifth in the Pac-12 Conference preseason media poll last week, the Buffs narrowly missed a spot in the AP preseason top 25 on Monday, finishing as the second program among others receiving votes.Freshman Cody Williams is CU’s most highly-touted recruit in decades, and he’s surrounded by a cast of battle-tested veterans led by Tristan da Silva. Yet in order to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021, the Buffs again plan to lean heavily on the Boyle-era tenets of defense and rebounding.In terms of the rebounding, the Buf...

Despite the Bolts loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, one Los Angeles Chargers fan’s reaction to a game-tying touchdown caught the attention of ESPN’s cameras and now, the internet.   With heartfelt expressions of excitement then despair and then back to excitement and yet another dive into despair, super-fan Merrianne Do led Bolts fans watching the game on television on an emotional journey.  “It’s funny because I truly believe every fan feels this way. They just may not show it or wear it on their sleeve like I do,” Do, who had no idea she was on camera, told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson a day after the game.  A Chargers fan for 20 years, Do says she regularly makes the jumbotron, but it was Monday night when cameras broadcast all that raw emotion for the world to see, making the season-ticket holder a viral sensation.  Merrianne Do showing off some of the Chargers gear she keeps at home where she lives with her husband and four children on O...
