Following the graduation of two seniors, the University of Colorado Boulder women’s basketball team is looking forward to the challenge of growing as a young group.
“I’m excited to be here,” said head coach JR Payne. “We just really love our team this year. We have a really remarkable group of young women who’ve had a great offseason. From last season to this season we’ve worked incredibly hard.”
There’s no shortage of skepticism surrounding the Buffs after a disappointing 12-18 finish last season. CU was voted to finish last in the Pac-12 preseason coaches poll due to uncertainty about what the team will look like without their all-time assist leader Kennedy Leonard and 1,000 point scorer Alexis Robinson.
