Although the Colorado Buffaloes and Colorado State Rams aren’t set to meet again on the gridiron until 2023, fans can rejoice in the fact that an earlier matchup between the two rivals will be taking place on the hardwood later this year.
According to college basketball analyst and bracketologist Rocco Miller, the Buffs and the Rams will be restarting a home-and-home series during the 2022-23 season, with the current date set for Dec. 8 in Boulder.
The two teams haven’t met in men’s basketball since 2019 when Colorado managed a 56-48 victory in Fort Collins. The Buffs currently hold an all-time record of 92-40 against Colorado State, going 6-4 in their last 10 matchups.
The Rams are fresh off of an impressive 25-6 season that earned them a trip to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed, although they were upset by Michigan in the first round. Despite that disappointing result for Ram fans, the home-and-home is sure to bring some competitive basketball and rekindle some in-state rivalry action.
Colorado and Colorado State will restart a home-and-home series next season.
