Pac-12 releases finalized conference schedule for Colorado men’s basketball

We learned the finalized dates and tip-off times for the CU men’s basketball team’s Pac-12 schedule.

One day after the Colorado men’s basketball team hit the court for its first preseason practice on Tuesday, the Pac-12 announced the Buffs’ completed conference schedule.

Head coach Tad Boyle is entering his 12th season at the helm and will lead a young Buffs team that lost to Oregon State in last season’s Pac-12 Championship Game.

This year’s Buffaloes will play a pair of exhibition games on Oct. 27 and Oct. 31 before opening with the Big Sky’s Montana State on Nov. 9. Colorado’s early season Pac-12 opponents come soon after with Stanford on Nov. 28 and at UCLA on Dec. 1.

Boyle’s Buffs will fully emerge into Pac-12 play when they travel to Oregon to face the Ducks on Dec. 30 before facing the Beavers on New Year’s Day. Their nine-game Pac-12 home schedule will begin next with Washington State on Jan. 6. A March 5 trip to Utah will close the Buffs’ regular season before the conference tournament tips on March 9 in Las Vegas.

In terms of television, nearly all of Colorado’s regular season games will be broadcasted on either FS1, ESPN 2, ESPN U or the Pac-12 Networks.
