Buffaloes Face Brother in Elite Test | Colorado Buffaloes Basketball News

The Colorado Buffaloes face a major test against top-ranked Purdue in the Indy Classic, with a personal twist as center Eric Jacobsen squares off against his own brother, Daniel, on Purdue’s court.

Coach Tad Boyle sees it as a crucial measuring stick against elite competition, while Eric seeks to prove himself and claim family bragging rights. A win in front of a raucous Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd could ignite national attention and signal a breakout season for Colorado in 2026.
