The good news is that the left knee of Eli Parquet is structurally sound, and the setback that sidelined him for Colorado’s win this past weekend against Utah probably won’t bother the freshman guard long.
However, given the stage of the season, there is a reasonable chance Parquet’s rookie season with the Buffaloes is over.
As the Buffs reconvened on Monday to begin preparations for Thursday’s home date against UCLA (7 p.m., ESPN2) following a scheduled day off Sunday, head coach Tad Boyle offered an update on Parquet, who suffered a hyper-extended knee in practice last week.
