Colorado Women’s Basketball 223 COLORADO basketball 13 NCAA TOURNAMENTS, 6 SWEET SIXTEENS, 3 ELITE EIGHTS ppreseasonreseason tournamentstournaments Colorado is 117-41 since the 1980-81 season in regular season tournaments, including a sparkling 51-11 all-time in its own Rocky Mountain Hoops Classic which celebrated its 31st year in 2017. It has also been called the CU Classic and Omni Hotels Classic throughout its history.

Colorado has won 21 of 31 Rocky Mountain Hoops Classic titles (including 2006 when CU was a co-champion), and has played in every championship game but three as the Buffaloes finished third in 2005 and 2007, and fourth in 2008. The 2006 season brought a one-year change in the tournament, as it followed a true “Classic” format where Colorado and Wyoming played Nevada and Charlotte on consecutive days, primarily because Wyoming and CU had just played each other three days before. The Classic returned to its normal format in 2007.

The Buffaloes also have some notable preseason tournament wins outside the Rocky Mountain Hoops Classic. CU won the Preseason WNIT in 1995 defeating New Mexico State, Utah, Texas A&M and Arkansas in the championship. More recently, Colorado claimed the 2003 WBCA Classic title in Boulder by topping Old Dominion and Notre Dame. rrockyocky mmountainountain hhoopsoops cclassiclassic hhistoryistory 1987 1994 First Round—Colorado 79, Purdue 55, Houston 84, San Diego State 80 First Round—Colorado 72, Stephen F.
