\n\u00a0
\nThree Buffaloes are not traveling to the College Basketball Crown: Freshman guard Isaiah Johnson<\/a>, sophomore forward Sebastian Rancik<\/a> and junior forward Bangot Dak<\/a>. Those three have opted out of the tournament and are intending to enter the transfer portal, which officially opens on April 7.
\n\u00a0
\nThe winner of the Colorado-Oklahoma game will meet either Baylor or Minnesota on Saturday, April 4, at 11:30 a.m. MT at T-Mobile Arena. The College Basketball Crown championship game will be held Sunday, April 5, at 3:30 p.m. MT at T-Mobile Arena. The opposite side of the bracket features Stanford, West Virginia, Rutgers, and Creighton.
\n\u00a0
\nIn its second season, the College Basketball Crown features eight teams competing for an NIL prize pool of $500,000. Last year, the Buffaloes were one of 16 teams to play in the initial CBC, dropping a first-round game to Villanova.
\n\u00a0
\nAll four quarterfinal games, April 1-2, will air on FS1 while the semifinals and championship will air on FOX. Colorado’s games will also air on the Colorado Radio Network.
\n\u00a0
\nColorado is 17-15 overall, tying for 11th place in the Big 12 at 7-11, improving five spots from its league finish a year ago and more than doubling its conference win total. The Buffaloes are advancing to postseason play past the conference tournament level for the 14th time in 15 opportunities under head coach Tad Boyle<\/a> (no postseason in 2020 due to the pandemic). During that time, Colorado has played in six NCAA Tournaments, five NIT events, and one CBI, as well as its back-to-back College Basketball Crown appearances.
\n\u00a0
\nTickets can be purchased exclusively via Vivid Seats<\/a>, the Official Ticketing Provider and Founding Partner of the College Basketball Crown.
