BOULDER — For the fourth straight year, Colorado basketball coach Tad Boyle is hosting a reunion of players from a previous era — and for the fourth straight year, players and coaches from that era are wholeheartedly embracing the weekend get-together.
This year's reunion features players from the Joe Harrington era at CU. Harrington, who coached in Boulder from 1990-96, is still tied for second with Boyle on Colorado's list of all-time NCAA and NIT tournament wins with four. He may be best remembered for an outstanding NIT run in his first season with the Buffs, when Colorado advanced to the NIT Final Four by beating Michigan, Wyoming and Arkansas State before finally falling to Big Eight rival Oklahoma in the tourney semifinals.
