On Sunday, the University of Colorado Men’s Basketball team defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 72-61 in an exhibition game at the CU Events Center. The game was a fundraiser for relief of the Marshall Fire, with over 3,200 tickets purchased and all funds going to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund.

Though just an exhibition, the game was the first opportunity for this year’s squad to see how they match up against the national competition. CU was listed sixth in the Pac-12 preseason rankings, behind familiar foes first-ranked UCLA and USC, ranked fourth.
