Fresh faces impress in CU men’s basketball scrimmage

The University of Colorado men’s basketball team held their first open practice and scrimmage of the season Saturday at the CU Events Center. A scattered crowd welcomed a few new Buffs to the team.

CU suited up in black and silver practice jerseys and played three 10-minute periods. The first period saw the first and second teams split up with the next two following a mix of expected starters and bench players.

Head coach Tad Boyle said his team has gotten older and used the scrimmage to discover which players click together. A junior-heavy team, the Buffs’ roster features just two seniors in forward Lucas Siewert and guard Shane Gatling.
