In this series of updates on the history of SuperWest men’s hoops program, we provide a brief coaching summary, list of the current coaches, along with postseason results, conference titles, award winners, and all-time coaching records.

The Colorado Men’s Basketball team, initially known as the Silver and Gold, began play on January 10, 1901, and became the Buffaloes in 1934.

The Buffs have competed in 14 NCAA Tournaments, making the Final Four twice. Colorado has also played in nine National Invitation Tournaments, winning the tournament once, and making the semi-finals twice.

Colorado basketball picked up steam in 1935 with the hiring of Frosty Cox, who led the Buffs to three NCAA Tournaments, including the 1942 Final Four, and two NITs, winning the NIT title in 1940.

Altogether, Cox won five conference titles, posting a career record of 147-89.

Boyle has directed the Buffs to six NCAA Tournaments, the most of any Colorado coach, as well four NITs.

His eight-straight postseason appearances are a school record, as are his three-straight trips to the Big Dance.

Having posted a record of 298–183 in Boulder, including 20+ wins in five of the last six seasons, Boyle is the winningest men’s head basketball coach in Colorado history.

He has earned several extensions in the course of his perpetual five-year contract, currently worth $2.6 million annually.

Boyle’s 26 wins in the 2023-24 season set a new single-season school record en route to winning two games in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in his 14-year tenure.

The Buffs appear poised to make plenty of noise next season when they join the Big 12, arguably the best college basketball conference in the country.
