It’s the most wonderful time of the year for college basketball fans, as the NCAA Tournament is in full swing along with all of the chaos, drama, and storylines that it entails. Unfortunately for the Colorado Buffaloes, they’ve had no part of the fun this year as they were unable to secure a bid to the big dance.
Colorado did manage to secure a spot in the NIT, giving fans at least some hope for an extended basketball foray into the month of March. However, the Buffs’ season came to an untimely demise at the hands of their first-round opponent, the St. Bonaventure Bonnies, who have since knocked off both Oklahoma and Virginia on their way to the NIT semifinals.
Despite its lack of a lengthy postseason run, Colorado proved its ability to overcome tough stretches and showcased the young talent on its roster. Read on for a look back at the Buffs’ turbulent 2021-22 season.
