Colorado women’s basketball roster entering 2023 NCAA Tournament

For the second consecutive season, the Colorado women’s basketball team received an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament. The Buffs enter the Big Dance as a No. 6 seed with a first-round matchup against No. 11 Middle Tennessee set for Saturday.

Compared to last year, the Buffs have more experience and what I believe to be a deeper roster entering March Madness. Four players received All-Pac-12 honors and head coach JR Payne was a late-season finalist for the Naismith Women’s College Coach of the Year award.

Below is a quick look at Colorado’s 2022-23 roster, including season statistics for each player entering the NCAA Tournament:
