Colorado | Big 12

The lowdown
2000-01 record: 15-15; 5-11 in Big 12 (9th)
Final Ranking: NR
Postseason: None

Three Questions for 2001-02
1. David Harrison might be the highest profile recruit to sign with the Buffaloes since Chauncey Billups. How will he handle the pressure and the expectations? Can he be an impact player?

2. D.J. Harrison and Stephane Pelle each return. Harrison led the Buffaloes in scoring last season, while Pelle was No. 3 in scoring. Can they maintain that consistency next season?

3. Will the Buffaloes win on the road? They are a tough team to put out at home, but haven't been able to carry that on the road in the Big 12.

Andy Katz's Scenarios
Best case: The Buffaloes put their road woes away, finish in the top six and earn an NCAA Tournament berth.

Worst case: They miss the tournament by a few games and end up in the NIT.
