CU Men's basketball (11-19 overall; 2-17 in the Big 12) hosts the TCU Horned Frogs (16-14, 9-10) in its final regular season game of the 2024/25 season, with a ceremony honoring the seniors scheduled to be held after the game.

I'm too lazy to look at tiebreaker scenarios, but it looks like there's at least some chance that this could end up being the 1st game of a back to back, with CU set as the #16 seed for the conference tourney and due to face the #9 seed in the 1st round, and TCU currently in a 3 way tie for 8th place in the conference with KSU and WVU. (Believe the 2 teams tied for 6th could also be in play (???) as CU's 1st round opponent, as they are only 1 game up on the 8th place teams and have challenging looking final league games, with KU hosting 3rd place Arizona and Baylor hosting league leader Houston.)

In the latest NET rankings (through games played 3/4/25; available at https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings), CU is at #100 and TCU #71.

The game is scheduled to be available on an ESPN+ stream. (Further info and links for media options available near the bottom of this post.)

Go Buffs!!!

I have an extra ticket for the game if anyone wants it. No charge for the ticket. All requests for me to pay you to attend the game will be denied.
Tickets gone
They did insist that I pay them to sit through the last conference game since we're 2-17.

Since it's the last game, any interest in a meetup at the Horse to pregame? We haven't all done it in a while.

Edit: I'd love to, but I'm maybe 50%. I'm not confident I handle the walk from the Horse to the game, but it's only 0.8 mi and flat the whole way.

The Buffaloes will be the No. 16 seed at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship and will play a first round game against the No. 9 seed (to be determined) on Tuesday, March 11, at 1 p.m. MT, at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. No less than 21 scenarios exist for the No. 9 seed heading into the final weekend of the regular season which will be one of the following teams (in alphabetical order): Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, Utah or West Virginia.
...

ABOUT THE HORNED FROGS: TCU is 16-14 overall and tied with West Virginia and Kansas State for eighth in the Big 12 at 9-10. The Horned Frogs have lost three of their last four since a stretch where they had won five of six beginning with the win over Colorado on Feb. 2.

THE SERIES: This will be the sixth meeting between Colorado and TCU. The Horned Frogs took a 3-2 lead in the series with a win in the first Big 12 matchup between the two teams, a 68-57 decision on Feb. 2, in Fort Worth. It will be TCU's first trip to Boulder, since picking up a win at the CU Events Center, 62-46, on Dec. 3, 2008.

Tad Boyle is 0-1 against TCU as a head coach. Jamie Dixon is 2-0 in his career against the Buffaloes, the first win coming as the head coach at Pittsburgh in the first round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament, a 77-48 decision in Orlando, Fla.

Pease is also in there but Aztec's post above has them both listed as seniors even though the CU website has them listed as juniors

I was surprised to see we're a 2.5-point favorite today

Hammond warming up. Left arm wrapped wrist to elbow but looks OK.
 
Refs could / should call a reach on almost every single Buffs offensive possessions, and yet haven't managed to call a single one.
