Las Vegas, Nev. — Oklahoma State's Men's Basketball team will take on a former conference rival when the Cowboys face the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday, Dec. 21, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., it was announced today by bd Global, promoters of the event.
"We are excited about the game against Colorado at the MGM Grand this December," OSU head coach Travis Ford said. "It is a wonderful opportunity to play a top-20 opponent in a great venue. The Buffaloes were a really, really good team last season, and return four of their top-five scorers. Coach Boyle has done a terrific job taking Colorado back to the NCAA Tournament the past two years. It will be a tough game, and we are looking forward to the challenge."
