Buffs resume practices in anticipation of trip to Italy
From CUBuffs.com … After a month off, the Colorado men’s basketball team resumed practice for its August tour of Italy Saturday morning at the Coors Events Center.
The Buffaloes will have eight days of practice in Boulder, including Saturday, before leaving for an 11-day, four-game tour featuring stops in Rome, Florence, Venice and Como. The NCAA allows for 10 practice days for foreign tours. Two of those practice days were used in June.
Colorado enjoyed a spirited, but focused morning on the practice floor. The task for head coach Tad Boyle and his staff is to get the team ready for game action, in about a quarter of the time they would for the regular season.
“We’ve got to move fast, that’s the biggest thing,” Boyle said. “Normally when you start practice you can take baby steps with 30 days before your first game. Now we’ve got eight.

Lazar Nikolic’s arrival with CU men’s basketball delayed by paperwork
From the Daily Camera … While the Colorado Buffaloes bid farewell to assistant Jean Prioleau on Saturday, they also began their final stretch of workouts before the program’s four-game trip to Italy later this month.
They resumed workouts without the final piece of their 2017 freshman class, Lazar Nikolic.
Earlier this summer head coach Tad Boyle believed the Serbian guard would be in Colorado in time to take part in the pre-Italy workouts. However, NCAA paperwork and visa issues have conspired to keep Nikolic at home for the time being.
“He’s dealing with stuff with NCAA clearinghouse. Transcripts being sent and translated…there are so many hoops you have to jump through,” Boyle said. “We were hoping he could be here by now, but some of his work got in a little bit late. Everything had to be graded, transcripts have to be uploaded. (Assistant) Bill Grier has done an unbelievable job with the day-to-day minutiae of getting him here. It just hasn’t happened like we wanted to.”
