Jabari Walker - Heads to locker room Walker went to the locker room during Saturday's game versus Cal State Bakersfield after taking a shot to the head, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.
Impact Walker may have taken an elbow prior to leaving and it's unclear at this point if he will be cleared to return at some point. The buffs should be able to take care of business without him either way. Walker posted just an assist while failing to connect on his lone attempt from the field prior to his departure.

Javon Ruffin - Still at least a few weeks away Ruffin (knee) remains at least a few weeks from potentially making his debut with Colorado, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.
Impact A report from November suggested Ruffin is likely out through late December and that still appears to be the case at a minimum. Once the freshman is finally in a spot where he is game-ready, Rooney indicated he and Ruffin will discuss whether or not he would like to play this season or utilize a redshirt and return next season as a freshman.

A career 33 percent shooter from long-range, Parquet is only 4-of-20 from three this season.

Evan Battey - Leads Colorado in loss Battey notched 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT) and seven rebounds in 28 minutes during Saturday's 69-54 loss to Tennessee.

It wasn't Battey's most efficient shooting night, either, and he's struggled to open Pac-12 play with only 16 points over two games. He is shooting 57 percent overall this season, but he's failed to be consistent against better competition the last two seasons.

Barthelemy is locked into a full-time starting role this season and has been efficient overall, connecting on 46 percent of threes thus far.

Impact In a back-and-forth low scoring game, Walker's double-double was much needed for Colorado in what is already his third such game this season. It was far from his best shooting night, but he has managed to reach double figures in all six games thus far. Walker has been the go-to-guy on a squad that has shown their youth this season, as he's amassed a 27.2 percent usage rate for the Buffaloes.
