RR Ralphie Report: How to watch Colorado in the College Basketball Crown

NCAA Basketball: Big 12 Conference Tournament Quarterfinal - Houston v Colorado

The event takes place from March 31 to April 6.

March is fully saturated with college basketball to the point where every fan is bloated, irritable and eyes heavy from their 12-hour shifts on the sofa. And yet it’s never enough; there’s always more basketball to consume.

Colorado Buffaloes fans are in particular luck. Not only do we get to watch the NCAA Tournaments as spectators, but we also have the NIT, the women’s WBIT — in which the Buffs sadly lost to Gonzaga — and now the College Basketball Crown.

What is the College Basketball Crown, you ask? It’s less like the NIT or CBI and more like an early season tournament that takes place in the postseason. There are decent teams in the field — some of them just missed the NCAA Tournament, while others are good programs that had bad seasons. I’m not sure why a team like Boise State would turn down the NIT for this, but maybe it’s cheaper and easier to plan?

The Buffs aren’t the best team in the field, but they don’t really care about winning or losing. Tad Boyle wants to see what he has. He’s going to play the kids, test out some stuff for next season, and decide from there his offseason recruiting strategy. The extra practices in March are a nice bonus for the coaching staff.

Colorado’s first game will tip off at 6:30 MT on April 1 against the Villanova Wildcats. If they manage to win, they would play on April 3 against the winner of Tulane and USC, a basketball rematch of the 2023 Cotton Bowl. The semifinals are on the 5th, then the final is on the 6th.

FOX is broadcasting the entire event and each game will be aired on either the flagship network or FS1.

The full schedule can be found on the tournament website.
