NCAA Basketball: Big 12 Conference Tournament First Round - Colorado vs TCU

The Buffs aren’t done yet.

The Colorado Buffaloes’ season isn’t done quite yet. Tad Boyle and his squad have accepted a bid to play in the College Basketball Crown tournament in Las Vegas.

With a regular season conference record of 3-17, it shouldn’t be surprising that the Buffs have missed out on both March Madness and the NIT. However, winning two games in the Big 12 Tournament last week was enough for Colorado to earn a spot in the brand-new, Fox-backed third-tier tournament.

After a disappointing season, nobody would’ve faulted the Buffs for staying home and not rubbing salt in their wounds by having to play in a third-tier tourney, but they probably didn’t have a choice. The Big 12 is one of three conferences that agreed to send two auto-qualifiers to The Crown, so they may have been contractually obligated to accept the bid.

Regardless, playing in The Crown will provide good developmental opportunities for Colorado’s youngsters like Bangot Dak, Sebastian Rancik and Felix Kossaras. CU’s first game in “The Crown” will be against Villanova on April 1 at the MGM Garden Arena. If they beat Nova, they’ll play the winner of Tulane and USC on April 3.
