Big 12 Basketball Beat '23-24

[Carthage World]

Colorado just lost their 4th and 5th leading scorers (6'6 J'Vonne Hadley, 11.6 ppg & 6'11 Eddie Lampkin 10.6 ppg) to the transfer portal this morning and are expected to lose their top 3 scorers to the draft this summer.

Is that a coaching change? Seems like a lot of movement for a team that made the tournament

Not sure. Their coach (Tad Boyle) is in good standing but not sure if he's exploring other high-major jobs.

Tad's been there for 14 years now, I didn't realize it's been that long. He's had a very solid run there for a program without much basketball history since the 60s.

Oddly enough, I think Mike Bohn hired him.

Oklahoma may be to the SEC as Nebraska is to the B1G.
