The University of Colorado men's basketball team opened practice for the 2022-23 season on Monday at the CU Events Center, six weeks from the season opener against UC Riverside.
Between now and then, the Buffaloes will have 30 practices where a lot of questions will be answered. How does Colorado replace Evan Battey's leadership? Who will become the leading scorer? Leading rebounder? Are the Buffaloes at a size disadvantage? Who is that "X-Factor?"
Time will tell, but for now an early look at some of those storylines.
