Boyle's Buffs Once Again Looking For Opening Opponent

BOULDER — In a year when everything is upside down and nothing is certain, the Colorado men's basketball schedule took yet another unexpected turn over the weekend.

Originally scheduled to open the season with South Dakota State in the Little Apple Classic in Manhattan, Kan., on Nov. 25, the Buffs are suddenly looking for an opening opponent again after the Jackrabbits jumped ship for another tournament, the Crossover Classic.

Understandably, CU coach Tad Boyle wasn't exactly happy with SDSU's departure.

"Welcome to scheduling in the 2020-21 basketball season," Boyle said in a Monday morning meeting with the media.
