Men's bball (13-8, 5-6 in Pac 12 play) is scheduled to host the Oregon schools over the next few days. 1st up are the Ducks (13-7, 6-3) scheduled for tomorrow evening (8:00 PM start time), followed up by the Beavers (3-15, 1-17) scheduled to be in Boulder for a Saturday 4:00 PM tipoff.
Note - As I already mentioned in the prior games' thread, it was announced yesterday that Coach Boyle has tested positive for Covid-19, and at minimum will be missing the Oregon game. Associate Head Coach Mike Rohn will be at the helm Thursday. (Release regarding Coach Boyle's absence is at https://cubuffs.com/news/2022/2/1/mens-basketball-boyle-to-miss-oregon-game.aspx . Hopefully he's dealing with either no or minor symptoms.)
Go Buffs!
