Colorado men's basketball finalizes 2025-26 nonconference schedule
Colorado men's basketball finalizes 2025-26 nonconference schedule Colorado men's basketball recently announced it was taking a summer pre-season trip to Australia and now the program has finalized its 13-game nonconference schedule for the 2025-26 season. The schedule includes the Acrisure Series, a multi team invitational tournament in Palm Desert, with the Buffaloes' opponents still to be determined. CU's first game of the season will be an exhibition matchup against Grace College in Boulder marking a homecoming for forward Elijah Malone who began his college career with the Lancers. The Buffs' nonconference slate is home-heavy with 10 of the 13 currently scheduled games taking place in at the CU Events Center. Buffs fans should circle key matchups like the Dec. 6 rivalry game at Colorado State, a Nov. 14 home clash with Kim English's Providence squad and a Dec. 20 showdown against former Pac-12 rival Stanford in Phoenix. With the nonconference schedule not being the most challenging, the Buffs need to get off to a strong start in 2025 after finishing last season with a 14-21 overall record and 3-17 in the Big 12.
