83 ESPN College GameDay ESPN’s basketball rendition of College GameDay, in existence for a decade, made its first appearance at the University of Colorado, February 22, 2014. The telecast from the Coors Events Center was a spectacle from start to finish, with the C-Unit making its presence more than apparent to the national TV audience. For over two hours, the collective body of CU students – dubbed the C-Unit in 2004 – brought energy, costumes, and witty signs to the GameDay party as a way to kick off the day’s national basketball schedule. The lead attraction was Saturday night’s Pac-12 Conference game matching CU against No. 4 Arizona. GameDay was hosted by Rece Davis and featured insights from former Notre Dame head coach Digger Phelps and former Duke star Jay Williams. After the morning event, Davis spoke with CU athletic director Rick George and told him the “environment and the enthusiasm was right up there with the best that they have seen” for GameDay. “The crowd was attentive, they were into it, they listened to what we were saying on the show and responded accordingly,” Davis said. “CU put on a great show.” Students began lining up outside the Events Center, Friday at 11 p.m. and by 5:45 a.m. Saturday there was about 300 students clamoring for their chance to be on national TV. Conditions weren’t ideal (high winds and low temperatures), but that wasn’t going to stop any crazed fans. The event goes beyond students showing off their creative humor and asking parents for money via home-made signs; it provides the university a stage to tell the rest of the country what CU is all about – and the school did that Saturday. Colorado coach Tad Boyle is also hoping to use the exposure for his own recruiting purposes as he seeks to build a national in Boulder. Boyle had previously said that being selected to host GameDay was, “a testament to our players, a testament to our fans, a testament to our coaches and how far this program has come.” HISTORY

It’s no coincidence that GameDay chose to come to Boulder when the Buffaloes host the nation’s fourth-ranked team. However, Saturday’s event was more about CU basketball and the atmosphere that has developed at the Coors Events Center during the Boyle regime. Arizona hosted its firstGameDay event on January 28, 2012, and according to Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star, the turnout Colorado received was comparable – if not better – than that of the Wildcats, who boast four Final Four appearances and one national championship. Colorado is proving that its fan support belongs with some of the best in the nation and hopes to prove that its level of play belongs in the same category. Reflecting on the days when the average attendance at the Coors Events Center was about 3,000 – compared to the nearly 10,000 this season –GameDay being on campus is a culmination of everything we could have ever envisioned when we first moved the C-Unit to behind the basket where they stand today. “Our students showed themselves well, and their enthusiasm to be out here at six in the morning says a lot about our fans,” George said. “It was awesome, you can’t

measure this kind of exposure.” HISTORY

85 Pac-12 Tournament Champions LOS ANGELES - Dust off those dancing shoes, Buffs fans. Pac-12 hoops, who’s your Taddy? The improbable, unflappable, and in the very end undeniable Colorado Buffaloes made history, outlasting Arizona 53-51 at the Staples Center to win the Pac-12 Conference tournament championship in their debut season in the expanded league. CU is a conference tournament champion for the first time in program history and in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2003 after earning the Pac-12’s automatic berth. A season after being denied an NCAA Tournament berth and losing 75 percent of his offense, CU coach Tad Boyle reloaded as best he could and hoped for the best. But Boyle constructed his second season in Boulder with more determination than dreams, ultimately squeezing and coaxing every ounce of effort out of the Buffs during a taxing four-day Pac-12 run that followed a dismaying regular-season finish. Losing three of its final four games, CU dropped from regular-season title contenders to a sixth tournament seed. No problem; rising up in L.A. was the Buffs’ mission. They did it in grand - if gut-wrenching -style, and they did it the hard way, winning four games in four days. CU (23-11) almost squandered a 12-point lead, scoring only three points in the last 9 minutes but still denying No. 4 seed Arizona (23-11) in its comeback attempt. “Saying I’m proud of these guys is the biggest understatement I’ve ever made,” Boyle said. “If you believe in destiny, you believe in the Colorado Buffaloes.” Freshman Spencer Dinwiddie led CU with 14 points, and senior Carlon Brown - the Buffs leading scorer in the tournament - added 13, including a dunk in the final minute that was his team’s last field goal. Sophomore Andre Roberson submitted his third double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds) in four tournament games. Brown was named the tournament MVP, highlighting a two-week run that saw him hit lows, highs and finish as high as he’s ever been. Said Boyle on Brown: “I think what you saw out of Carlon these last four games is he’s a guy who put this team on his shoulders. He’s been more vocal than he’s been all year in timeouts, in huddles, on the floor, encouraging his teammates . . . (He) deserves the MVP of this tournament because he was big when we needed him to be big.” Brown, the only member of the CU roster to play in the NCAA Tournament (with Utah), said the late-season

HISTORY scoring slump he encountered finally was put behind him: “I just tried to put everything in the past, knowing I had this opportunity to be aggressive and play in this tournament . . . I just let everything go.” Roberson also was named to the all-tournament team, joining Jared Cunningham (Oregon State), Kyle Fogg (Arizona), Solomon Hill (Arizona) and Jesse Perry (Arizona). That trio led the Wildcats in scoring Saturday - Fogg with 14, Hill with 13 and Perry with 11. Arizona coach was effusive in congratulating CU and Boyle: “I want to say the job that Tad Boyle has done at Colorado and what Colorado represents to the future of the Pac-12, I can make the argument that there’s

86 colorado buffaloes been no greater gift to college basketball in the Pac-12 than adding Colorado.” Miller said whoever draws CU in the NCAA Tournament “is running into a hungry, well-coached, disciplined team. I really believe that’s the story of today. They beat us. They were the better team.” CU had 8- to 10-point cushions in the final 10 minutes of the previous two games and held on - barely against Oregon, handily against Cal. But could the Buffs stay composed in their biggest tournament game thus far? Some doubt surfaced when Arizona scored five straight and cut its deficit to 50-43 on one of two free throws by Perry with 5:29 remaining. And no nerves were calmed when Tomlinson and Askia Booker both misfired badly on consecutive possessions from the same spot in the left corner. The Wildcats capitalized on those botched trips with a layup by Hill to cap a 7-0 run and close to 50-45 with 4 minutes remaining. At the 1:41 mark, without a field goal in almost 8 minutes and seven consecutive missed shots, Boyle called a timeout. It might not have been what Boyle had drawn up, but Roberson drove to the basket as the shot clock wound down and was fouled with 1:23 showing. He hit one of two, sending CU up 51-46. At the other end, 22 seconds later, Perry sank two free throws, but Brown drove the lane and countered with a thunderous dunk to push the Buffs ahead 53-47 with 49 seconds to play. CU’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament in nine seasons appeared all but booked . . . but not quite. Fogg’s pair of free throws at 34.5 cut CU’s lead to 53-49, and Hill also converted at the other end to make the score 53-51.

Dufault, who let a pass from Tomlinson bound away from him for a turnover, also HISTORY missed a pair of free throws with 14.4 to play. “It would have been nice if we had ended the game smoother . . . if I could have knocked down a couple of free throws or caught that pass,” Dufault said. Arizona had a final chance, but Fogg’s tightly contested shot with 1.4 seconds left was badly off to the left. Continued Dufault: “We went down to the other end, and once again we just dug in defensively and got a stop.” It was done . . . CU in the Big Dance.

2013-14 NCAA Tournament The University of Colorado basketball team earned their third straight NCAA Tournament with an eighth seed in the South Region played in Orlando. It was CU’s highest NCAA Tourney seed since the 1997 when they were ninth in the East Region. The Buffaloes won 23 games, the third most victories in school history, in fact, it was the fourth straight season CU won at least 20 or more games in a season (a school record). The team won 10-straight games during November and most of December, tying for the fourth longest streak in school history. CU was nationally ranked for six straight weeks in the AP Poll (5-straight in the Coaches’ Poll) reaching its peak at No. 15 with a 14-2 record. With a 3-0 Pac-12 record, junior guard Spencer Dinwiddie suffered a season-ending ACL injury to his left knee at Washington on Jan. 12.

HISTORY 2012-13 NCAA Tournament The defending Pac-12 Tournament champions won their first six games of the season en route to being nationally ranked for the first time since the 2005-06 campaign. CU made the national tournament for the second straight season, a school-first in 50 years (since Sox Walseth). Head Coach Tad Boyle and his staff won 21 games, the third-straight season over 20 wins (a school- first) and the 69 victories over the last three years, are the most in any three-year span. The Buffs finished fifth in the conference standings and earned an at-large seed at No. 10 in the East Region falling to No. 7 Illinois, 57-49 in Austin, Texas. Andre Roberson was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year as well as a first team selection. Spencer Dinwiddie led the Buffs in scoring, assists and free throw shooting, was also named to the conference first team, while Josh Scott was named to the freshman team.

2011-12 NCAA Tournament It was nine years since CU last danced in the NCAA Tournament and in one of the greatest seasons ever, second year head coach Tad Boyle equaled the previous season’s win total (24), advanced to the NCAA Tourney third round, and won the inaugural Pac-12 Tournament championship by winning four games in four days as the No. 6 seed. The conference regular season had its ups and downs where at one point, CU could have ended the season as the number one or two seed in the tournament. However, losing three of its last four games and dropping to the No. 6 overall seed, the Buff overcame No. 12 seed Utah, 53-41 on 34.9 percent shooting on the opening night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. On the day two and against No. 3 seed Oregon, CU edged the Ducks, 63-62 for the second time in three meetings this season. Sophomore forward Andre Roberson put back with 13 seconds remaining and a defensive stand by senior point-guard Nate Tomlinson proved to be the difference in the one point win. In the semifinals, CU took care of No. 2 Cal, 70-59 on 59.1 percent shooting from the field in the second half.

CU became the first team to win four games in Pac-12 Conference Tournament history, and just the 10th team from the “big six” conferences to do so since 1952. At the NCAA Tournament, the Buffs, seeded No. 11 upset No. 6 UNLV in the second round,

then fell to No. 3 Baylor, 80-63, two days later. HISTORY

2002-03 NCAA Tournament The 2002-2003 season was one of the most successful campaigns in Colorado history. Standards were set high as the team returned five of their top six scorers from a year ago. Rarely in athletic competition can a team live up to the expectations of the media, and the fans; but the Buffs were able to not only meet expectations, but surpass them. CU finished the season 20-12, the third time in school history that a 20 win season had been accomplished. That included a nearly perfect record at home, as they went 14-1 on Sox Walseth Court. The game of the year came on January 22nd when the Buffs were able to topple the #6 ranked Kansas Jayhawks; a feat not accomplished since 1991. Sophomore David Harrison had a breakout year, setting several school records. Harrison broke, and then re-broke the record for blocked shots in a game when he recorded 10 against Standing (l-r): Manager Kristi Coady, Glean Eddy, Jayson Obazuaye, Michel Morandais, Lamar Harris, Stephane Stetson, and then 11 at home against Nebraska.

95 1996-97 NCAA Tournament The Buffs were back. Not since the late 1960s had CU basketball made the NCAA tournament, or had an AP top 25 ranking. Both of those droughts ended during ’96-’97 season, as Colorado made it back to the big dance. Led by sophomore phenom Chauncey Billups, the Buffs stormed to a 22-10 record. Conference play did not change their winnings ways, as they went 11-5 in the Big Twelve. The 22 wins, along with their 11 Big Twelve victories each are school records. With their stellar record, the Buffs were able to break the AP Poll and receive a #24 national ranking. This was the first time since the 1968-1969 season that CU had been ranked in the top 25. The season was highlighted by two upsets, as the Buffs were able to defeat #20 ranked Texas Tech, and then exactly one week later topple the #8 ranked Cyclones of Iowa State. Chauncey Billups turned in one of the best seasons ever by a Buffalo. Billups finished the season with 555 total points, the first time a sophomore had scored that many points since Cliff Meely put up 667 points during the ’68-’69 season. Electing for the NBA draft, Billups left Colorado after his sophomore year, but not after becoming Top (l-r): Assistant Coach Shane Wagner, Marlon Hughes, Chauncey Billups, Devon Gilchrist, Ronnie DeGray, the 23rd all time scorer in school history in just two years.

1968-69 NCAA Tournament HISTORY Coming off an uninspiring 9-16 overall record the previous year, Colorado was looking for a way to get the program back on track. A 3-11 conference record had coach Sox Walseth reeling. The Buffs were in need of a spark plug; and they found it in Cliff Meely. Never in school history had a first year player given the program a jolt in the way Meely was able to do in the 1968-1969 season. The Buffs tore through the season, finishing with a 21-7 mark and an 11-4 conference schedule. That record included a perfect 11-0 on home court. The 21 wins marked at the time, a school record for wins in a season. Colorado earned a #18 national ranking for their success, the first time the Buffs were able to crack the top 25 since 1963. This success was fueled by the inspiring play of Cliff Meely. Meely finished the season with 667 points, the most ever by a sophomore and 4th all time for any class. His ability to score was complimented by superb rebounding. Meely finished the ’68-’69 campaign with 337 rebounds. This mark is also the most by any sophomore, and ranks 2nd Top (l-r): Head Coach Sox Walseth, Trainer Monte Smith, Steve Swanson, Ron Maulsby, Dudley Mitchell, all time in CU history.

1962-63 NCAA Tournament The 1962-1963 season opened with all eyes on the Buffs. Coming off an impressive 19 win campaign and NCAA tourna- ment berth the year before, Colorado was receiving national attention. Coach Sox Walseth knew his team was under the microscope from the very beginning. Some critics thought a team who was not used to being in the spotlight would crumble under the pressure; these Buffaloes proved them wrong. CU stormed through the season, accumulating a 19-7 record while going 11-3 in conference play. It was the second year in a row that Colorado had gone 19-7 overall. A perfect home record and a #10 national ranking helped to keep Boulder in a basketball induced frenzy. The previous year had ended with CU having 499 wins as a program, and they seized first opportunity they had during the ‘62-‘63 campaign to reach that milestone. December 3rd 1962 saw CU defeat Wichita State 79-69 in double overtime, the 500th win of the programs illustrious history. Senior Ken Charlton paced the Buffs in scoring for the season. En route to an All-American (L-R): Glenn Sponholtza, Jim Davis, Jack Lintz, Norm Saunders, Milt Mueller, Ken Charlton, Ralph Becker, selection, the 5th in CU’s history, Charlton put up 514 points Gene Sparks, Terry Woodward, Tom McCann, Bob Joyce, Lonnie Melton, Ed Price, Allan Pike, George Parsons, and 214 rebounds.

Charlton currently ranks 10th all time on the

career scoring list. HISTORY

1961-62 NCAA Tournament A 19 win season was something the Colorado Buffaloes had seen only once in their history. The last time they won 19 games (in 1955), was the last time CU received a bid to play in the NCAA tournament. With that goal in their heads, Sox Walseth and his Buffs marched to a 19-7 record, and a near perfect 13-1 mark in conference play. The #9 ranked Buffaloes finished the regular season on a torrid pace, win- ning 14 of their 15 final games. The one loss was their one conference loss as well, falling at Kansas State. That span included a 12 game winning streak, as CU decimated their Big 8 opponents. The #9 national ranking was, and continues to be the highest position CU has ever had with the AP polls. Colorado scorers were paced by junior forward Ken Charlton, who finished the season with 498 points and 216 rebounds. Charlton was the only member of the team to record 400 points and 200 rebounds. One of the great storylines of the (l-r): Glenn Sponholtz, Jim Davis, Gene Zyzda, Milt Mueller, Ken Charlton, Wilky Gilmore, Wayne Millies, season was the play of senior forward Wilky Gilmore.

Gilmore left the program as the 2nd all time leading scorer in CU history with 1026 career points. He currently ranks 22nd.

97 1954-55 NCAA Tournament (FINAL FOUR) It was a season of first for the Buffaloes. The year marked the first time in school history the Buffs were offered an invi- tation to the NCAA national tournament. Once they arrived, the success they had during the big dance is unmatched in school history to this day. Advancing to the national semifinals, they were eventually defeated by San Francisco. CU won the consolation game 2 days later, to finish the season as the #3 team in the country. The season also saw the first time Colorado could put the number 19 in the win column. They finished with a 19-6 overall record, going 11-1 in tournament play. Their one blemish in Big Seven play came while playing at rival Nebraska. The season opened with a bang, as CU set a school scoring record as they took down Brigham Young by a score of 88-66. Colorado had an amazing winning streak during the season, capturing 15 of 16 games spanning from Front Row (l-r): Trainer Jack Rockwell, Tom Harrold, Will Walters, Bob Helzer, George Redhair, By Bennett, December to March.

His accomplishments were highlighted by a 21 rebound effort against Oklahoma, and later a 22 rebound game against Nebraska. His season mark of 346 rebounds is still the school record, as his single season rebounds/game average. He stands 6th on the career list, with 711 rebounds. He also knew how to put the ball in the basket; his 1125 career points was the best in school history when he left. He currently stands 18th on the all time list.

1953-54 NCAA Tournament Under the direction of coach H.B. Lee, the Buffs finished the

HISTORY season with a less than stellar 10-10 regular season mark. It was their inspired 10-2 Big Seven record, however, that helped the Buffs reach the NCAA tournament for the 4th time in school history. Colorado started their season losing 7 in a row. Fans and the media had already stuck the proverbial fork in the Buff’s season. After a loss at home to Iowa State though, a fire was lit under the Buffs, and they went flying to finish out the season. They won 11 of their next 13 games to storm back into tournament contention. That win streak was highlighted by a home win against the defending champion Kansas Jayhawks, along with road wins against contenders Iowa State, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. At season’s end, the impressive winning streak was not enough to ensure an NCAA berth. The selection was eventually made when Colorado’s name was literally pulled out of a hat. Talk about luck of the draw. CU was paced by junior center Burdette Haldorson. The 6’7 center led the team with 367 points and 199 rebounds. At the time, Haldorson’s average of 9 rebounds per game tied him for the all time high with Frank Gompert.

1945-46 NCAA Tournament One of the youngest CU teams to ever make the NCAA tournament came in the 1945-1946 season. The Buffs did not have one senior to help coach Forrest Cox direct the untested youth. Thankfully for Coach Cox, and for Buffs fans, they didn’t need one. Colorado battled their way to a 12-6 overall record, and a 9-3 Mountain States Conference record. The season was highlighted by a 5 game win streak during the heart of the schedule. During that span they were able to defeat conference foes Denver, Colorado State, Utah, and Brigham Young. The inexperienced Buffs were lead by center Hank Knocke. The sophomore transfer exploded out of the gates: scoring 49 points in his first four games as a Buffalo. With a sturdy 6’4 frame, Knocke was able to control the area under the basket, and maintain CU’s distinction as a force to be reckoned with. Knocke’s season was highlighted by two 26 point efforts; once against Utah State, and again just two weeks later against Denver. At the time, those stood as the 3rd and Front Row (l-r): Leo Atkin, equipment manager, James Stark, Harold Beattie, Jack Hunt, 4th all time single game scoring records.

1941-42 NCAA Tournament (FINAL FOUR) Very little could stop Colorado in their march towards their second all time appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Buffs decimated their competition, going 15-1 in the regular season. Behind the direction of head coach Forrest B. Cox, CU’s explosive attack and stingy defensive work won them their first 14 games in as many attempts. The Buffs finally lost their first game of the seas on March 3rd, a 40-39 loss to conference foe HISTORY Wyoming. A perfect 6-0 home record had the fans in Boulder excited; and their 9-1 away record had the rest of the nation trembling. Colorado would eventually finish their season 16-2, as they took down Kansas in the NCAA western regional semifinals. They would later bow out to Stanford in the regional finals. Their stellar play helped the Buffs capture their 4th Mountain States Conference title in 5 years. Two All-American players helped to pace CU during this dominating season: Robert Doll and Leason McCloud. Robert Doll was the big play man for the Buffs. His imposing presence down in the paint allowed him to out rebound all of his opponents. Doll would later go on to play for Top Row (l-r): Head Coach H.B.

1939-1940 NCAA and NIT Coming off of an impressive NIT tournament championship, Colorado was invited to play in the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. Under the direction of coach Forrest Cox, the Buffs had compiled an impressive 17-2 record previous to the NCAA tournament. This included a near perfect 11-1 record in conference play, a flawless 8-0 home performance, and a mid-season 12 game winning streak. Although CU had to bow out after the first round of the tournament, they did not end the season without some hardware to show. They had earlier defeated Duquesne University for the NIT championship. A 52-37 romping of the University of Denver had given the Buffs their 3rd straight Mountain States Conference title. Colorado was lead by Jack Harvey: a two time All-American selection. Over a two year span, CU went 31-8 with Jack Harvey wearing the silver and gold. Harvey was a dominating presence in the defensive end of the court; as well as being the catalyst in an explosive fast break offense. Harvey is Colorado’s only two-time All-America selection.

138 colorado buffaloes HALDORSON NAISMITH HALL OF FAME Burdette “Burdie” Haldorson, one of the early stars in the history of the University of Colorado men’s basketball program, was inducted along with his teammates from the 1960 United States Olympic team into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The 2010 class was inducted on August 13 in Springfield, Mass. That 1960 team brought home the gold medal from Rome and also featured (West Virginia), (Cincinnati), (Ohio State) and (Indiana). The 12-man squad cruised to an 8-0 record, the average winning margin a gaudy 42.4 points. The team beat Brazil, 90-63, to clinch the gold after disposing of the USSR (81-57) and host (112-81) leading up to the gold medal contest. The 1992 “Dream Team” also will be inducted, along with Karl Malone and , among others. The 1960 and 1992 squads are generally considered the top two men’s basketball teams in U.S. Olympic history. They will become the seventh and eighth teams that the Hall is inducting, the first Olympic ones, joining others that include the Harlem Globetrotters, the original Celtics, and the 1966 Texas Western team that shattered the race barrier when it beat Kentucky to win the NCAA title. Members of inducted teams go into the Hall as a full group, not as individuals. “I don’t really know that much about it yet, but it will be a real honor to go into the Hall with the group of players that was on that team,” Haldorson said from his winter home in Scottsdale, Ariz. “There were 12 guys, and all but two of us went into the NBA. I was one of those two, and I had invitations to turn pro as well, but I was basically ending my career. Some of those guys were outright starts, and I really believe Jerry West and Oscar Robertson would be stars in the game today.” “I’ve run into Oscar and Jerry a few times, but we all really went our own directions, so most of us haven’t really seen each other since we parted ways that summer,” he added. “We’ve never had a reunion so we kind of lost track of each other, but I can’t think of a better way to finally get us all together again.” Haldorson averaged 2.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game on the ’60 team, and also won a gold medal as a member of the ’56 team, when he averaged 8.6 points per contest. With Haldorson as a team member, the United States went 16-0 in the two Olympic games. Haldorson’s uniform, No. 22, is one of just two retired basketball jerseys in CU history. He left quite an imprint in the school’s basketball annals, and the 6-foot-7 Austin, Minn., native still holds four school rebounding records some five-plus decades after his CU playing days, including the most in a half (21), game (31) and season (346).

As a senior in 1954-55, he led the Buffs to the Big Seven Conference title by averaging 23.9 points per game, and was HISTORY named a first-team All-American. CU eventually went on to finish third in the nation, losing in the Final Four to eventual champion San Francisco and the legendary Bill Russell. He averaged 15.0 points and 9.5 rebounds for his CU career, and was the first of only eight players to this day to score at least 1,100 points and record 700 or more rebounds. He was inducted into CU’s Athletic Hall of Fame in the school’s second class in 1999; he previously had been inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame, the first with ties to CU’s basketball programs, in 1977. Haldorson went on to have a brilliant career in the National Industrial Basketball League as a member of the , the team entry for Phillips 66, who then hired him after his career. He then moved to Colorado Springs to form his own gas and oil distribution business. In October 2011, Haldorson was inducted into the 12th class of the Colorado Springs Hall of Fame at the Colorado Springs World Arena, and in March 2012, he was named to the Pac-12 Conference Men’s Basketball Hall of Honor, recognizing former men’s college basketball players and coaches who have made a significant impact to the tradition and heritage of the conference.
