The Colorado women's basketball team is enjoying a resurgence for the first time since Ceal Barry and Shelley Sheetz led the Buffaloes to national prominence in the 1990s.
BOULDER, Colo. — Senior Jaylyn Sherrod's emotion-filled post-game interview after Colorado upset Duke reminded Buffaloes coach JR Payne of the time her point guard was interviewed after a 104-46 blowout at Oregon in Sherrod's freshman year."They have to come to Boulder."
That mentality is driving the gritty Buffaloes' return to prominence for the first time since coach Ceal Barry made them a perennial power from 1983 to 2005. Sherrod tearfully told the broadcast crew on Monday night that Colorado was the only Power Five program that offered her a scholarship coming out of high school, so never once has she thought of jumping into the transfer portal.
One tangible connection the Buffs have to their glory days is Shelley Sheetz, the best player in the program's history and the color analyst on Colorado's radio broadcasts. "But I think just hearing somebody who's been through that and having her see that we have the potential, it really ignited the fire under us and was like OK, we have potential to do what they did, and we can do this."
