Marcus Relphorde (bruised hip) will be in the starting lineup tonight when Colorado hosts Nebraska about an hour from now at the Coors Events Center. Freshman forward Keegan Hornbuckle will miss his second consecutive game with an injured right shoulder.

Alec Burks isn’t Colorado’s secret anymore. The talented 6-6 guard, who leads all Big 12 freshmen in scoring, is projected to be the fourth pick in the 2011 NBA draft at nbadraft.net. The web site’s latest mock draft has Burks being picked by the Washington Wizards. Interestingly, Baylor’s Ekpe Odoh — another player turning heads [...]

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Greetings Buffs fans! I’m already nestled into my work space at Reed Arena ahead of today’s Colorado-Texas A&M game. Last week I read a very interesting blog by Jesse Newell, who covers Kansas hoops for the Lawrence Journal-World. Newell did an anonymous poll at the Big 12 media days in October [...]

But it says here that Colorado pulls off the upset and makes SportsCenter tonight. The only evidence I have to support the prediction is the Buffs’ 8-0 home record [...]

AUSTIN, Texas — Greetings Buffs fans. I’m at the Erwin Center getting ready to watch Colorado take on No. 2 Texas in the Big 12 opener. The Buffs are a 21-point underdog, despite a recent history of playing well against the Longhorns. I think Jeff Bzdelik’s team will cover that number for two reasons: 1. [...]

Good evening Buffs fans! Miami (Ohio) only lost 72-70 at Kentucky, but the RedHawks are 3-9 overall. Colorado has played well at the Coors Events Center and needs to improve to 8-0 at home tonight to regain some confidence entering Big 12 play.
