Mandatory Credit: Aaron Baker-Imagn Images | Aaron Baker-Imagn Images Colorado has missed the tournament in both seasons since returning to the Big 12 conference. Part of the reason for this is just how strong the Big 12 is. Being as far below .500 as Colorado has been the last two seasons in conference play will more often than not result in missing the big dance. In 2025-26, Colorado got off to a hot start in non-conference play.
The Buffs were 8-0 out of the gates in and looked like they had a real chance to get back to theColorado lost three of their final games in non-conference play to the Colorado State Rams, Stanford Cardinal, and North Colorado Bears. They entered league play with a record of 10-3. Things did not get easier. Being in arguably the best basketball conference in the country, there’s not exactly any easy wins on the schedule.
The Buffs ended up going 7-11 in Big 12 play, finishing with in overall record of 17-16 for the season.

Boyle has been the coach of the Buffs since the 2010-2011 season. He has led Colorado to the NCAA Tournament six times. Some good news for Colorado regarding their tournament hopes is that the field will be expanding from 68 teams to 76 in 2027. This is to the dismay of many college basketball fans, as they believe this will make the regular season mean even less and to an extent, the opening round of the tournament.
However, Colorado will have a better chance to make it in now with the additional eight at-large bids into the field. Colorado has three incoming transfers and they are all listed as three-star forwards by 247Sports: David Gomez, Noah Feddersen, and Justin Neely.
