BOULDER – The University of Colorado men's basketball team will hold an open Black and Gold scrimmage on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Coors Events Center.
Tailgating fans and those arriving for the Colorado-California football game (12 p.m., Folsom Field) are invited to stop by and watch the Buffaloes scrimmage as they finalize preparations for their exhibition game on Monday. Colorado will host Colorado Mines at 7 p.m. on Oct. 30.
Saturday's scrimmage will be a great opportunity for fans to see the new look Buffaloes who feature nine players that have yet to suit up in a regular season game, including six true freshmen.
The doors on the main concourse will be open for entry. Campus football gameday parking rules will be in effect, which requires either payment or permit at all lots.
"I always say college basketball is not a spectator sport, it's a participant sport," head coach Tad Boyle said. "I want our fans to feel a connection with this team. I want our team to feel a connection with our fans. Any time our team has an opportunity to interact with the public, it's a good thing; for our fans and for our players."
