If you wanted to draw a parallel between the Colorado men’s and women’s basketball teams, you could do worse than their focal points — the frontcourts. For the Lady Buffs, there’s senior forward Jamee Swan, the player upon whose shoulders the Buffaloes’ season rests upon.
Swan, who led Colorado with 13.2 points per game last season, will undoubtedly be a factor on offense. Her ability to create and finish around the rim is unrivaled on this team, and it will certainly be relied upon when Swan is often sharing the court with multiple freshmen this season.
