The Buffs are not going dancing, at least not in the NCAA ball.
Colorado was not chosen for an at-large bid on Sunday in the men’s NCAA basketball tournament despite posting a 21-13 overall record, going 6-7 versus RPI top 50 teams. This including notable wins over Missouri, Texas and a three-game sweep of Kansas State, all of which were selected to participate.
The Buffs will now wait for an announcement for the NIT at 7 p.m. MDT on ESPNU.
