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.
