Games thread- WOMEN'S BBall hosts UCF (Wed., 1/8/25; 7:00 PM MT; ESPN+) and Kansas (Saturday, 1:00 PM MT; ESPN+)

[AztecBuff]

Women's basketball (10-4 overall; 1-2 in Big 12 play) is back home for a couple more Big 12 games. 1st off this Wednesday the team hosts the Univ. of Central Florida Knights (UCF; 7-6, 0-3), followed up by a Saturday matinee against the Kansas Jayhawks (KU; 11-3, 1-2).

In the latest NET rankings (as of games played 1/4 ; available at https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-women/d1/ncaa-womens-basketball-net-rankings), CU is at #70, UCF #157 and KU #80.

As I assume will be the case for most if not all games hosted by a Big 12 school, both games are scheduled to be streamed on ESPN+ for those with a subscription to that paid subscription service. (Further info and links for media options available near the bottom of this post.)

Go Buffs!!!

The last two Alumni Band events of the year!

Are you allowed to play the Supa Duba Tuba song?

Are you allowed to play the Supa Duba Tuba song?

No, that has been cut for a while.

The decision from Athletics was first for the men's program at the start of the '19-20 season, then quickly expanded to the women's. The SDTC was last performed at a women's game that season. (The last men's performance that I am aware of was for the 2019 NIT game vs Norfolk State, which, as it happens, was an alumni game and I was on the court for that one.)

After Athletics cut it from being performed on-court for bball games, the band director independently decided to cut the song from the band's book (for both football and basketball) entirely. It is no longer performed at all.
