Were you hoping to watch Team Colorado play in The Basketball Tournament?
Well, you will have to wait at least one more year. According to Pat Rooney of BuffZone, Team Colorado won’t be participating in the tournament in 2022.
With a few Buffs alums in the NBA and the G League, they will wait at least one more year in hopes of getting a competitive bunch on the court.

Buffs Director of Player Development Zach Ruebesam admitted that they don’t want to just field a team for the sake of having one.
“We didn’t want to take donors’ money if we didn’t have a chance to compete and win. We want to do it. It’s great for the program. But we want everything to be in order so we can have a chance to win.”
Ruebesam was also going to be the coach, but Buffs fans will wait at least another season. They last took the court in the tournament in 2019, and perhaps next year guys like Evan Battey — if he doesn’t land in the NBA — will suit up for the team.
