The goals, according to Tyler Bey are simple. And they are numbers any player — from an up-and-coming talent like Bey to a wily old veteran — would take in a heartbeat.

“Twenty and 10,” Bey said with a smile, half-jokingly referring to the double-double he hopes to produce every night this season for the Colorado men’s basketball team.

It is a lofty standard, no doubt, and obviously one Bey is unlikely to reach every game. Yet those figures nonetheless are statistics Bey figures to approach far more frequently as a sophomore in 2018-19. As the Buffaloes met local reporters on Wednesday during the program’s annual media day at the CU Events Center, they did so with an air of confidence as a young team eager, and expecting, to take the next step — even as the players came to grips with the news of Dallas Walton’s season-ending knee injury.
