There is no out of bounds when the Colorado women's basketball team gets on the practice court.
If there's a loose ball, the Buffaloes are fighting for it until somebody corrals it. If that battle goes all the way to the seats, so be it. The player who eventually secures the ball is applauded.
"I feel like there's just a new feeling in the air," senior Jamee Swan said Monday after the Buffs completed their first official practice of the 2015-16 season. "Nobody is going to let what happened last year happen again."
Last season was CU's worst in the five-year tenure of head coach Linda Lappe, as it finished 15-17 and failed to reach the postseason for the first time under her direction.
