McKinley Wright, Tyler Bey, Namon Wright, and the rest of the Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team no doubt are fired up for the possibilities at hand in the 2018-19 season.
They should be. The youthful Buffs are expecting to take a big step forward this winter, with an eye on a return trip to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016.
If all goes well, coach Tad Boyle's Buffs will have the CU Events Center rockin' again. However, they might have to play a particularly superb brand of basketball to electrify the joint, as the nonconference home slate for November and December isn't going to feature opponents likely to light up the marquee and draw the interest of the average fan.
