DU men’s hockey, reeling after the holiday break, looked to restablish their power play and reignite their confidence Saturday night. Neither happened as another shakey performance resulted in a decisive conference home loss. Denver looked like a cinch for an NCAA Tournament host berth in Loveland with mostly home games and a solid conference record but now, Denver is left fighting for their playoff lives.

Depleted South Dakota Coyotes Deliver Double-Digit Loss to DU, 82-72
DU men’s basketball (8-11, 1-3) travelled to Vermillion, S.D. and faced a depleted South Dakota Coyotes squad Saturday afternoon. The Coyotes had seven players out with injuries. The big question: Could the Pioneers build and hold the lead in the final 5 to 7 minutes of a game against a reeling team? Well, rinse-and-repeat as Denver fizzled in the final 8 minutes, 82-72, missing a chance to defeat the vulnerable Coyotes. Denver also wasted a career game from Gabe Oldham, who delivered 24 points and 13 rebounds. Continue reading Depleted South Dakota Coyotes Deliver Double-Digit Loss to DU, 82-72

Denver Fades in Second Half to South Dakota State University, 86-79
Denver men’s basketball (8-10, 1-2) began their South Dakota road swing Thursday night against South Dakota State in Brookings, S.D.

DU Adds The Cable Center to Portfolio
The rumors have been swirling for weeks about the future of the Cable Center. Built with a long-term lease on University of Denver land, The Cable Center is being acquired by the University of Denver. The move by DU is a logical step to consolidate capital assets and add needed office, academic and event space. Continue reading DU Adds The Cable Center to Portfolio
DU Pushes St Thomas but Falls, 92-88
This was a measuring stick game. The Summit League only receives one NCAA Tournament auto bid. An early road game against the preseason conference favorite, St Thomas, was a good chance to evaluate Denver’s progress and prospects for the 2025-26 conference season. Denver (8-9, 1-1) did not play one of their most solid games, yet the Pioneers hung close to the Tommies on the road until the final seconds, 92-88. Continue reading DU Pushes St Thomas but Falls, 92-88
Maine’s Third Period Surge Forges 3-3 Tie
Knowledgeable hockey fans knew Maine had a solid team coming into Denver (12-8-1, 8-2-0). However, few would have predicted Maine’s results – in convincing fashion no less. The Maine Black Bears were by far the superior team all weekend and they added the exclamation point Saturday night with a late third period comeback tie (and shootout ‘win’). Continue reading Maine’s Third Period Surge Forges 3-3 Tie
DU a Step Slow, Falls to Maine, 5-2
It was a lethargic #6 Denver hockey team (12-7-1, 8-2-0) that came off a 20-day break. It could have been tryptophan, star forward Eric Pohlkamp returning late from the Spangler Cup in Switzerland, and/or the absence of Brendan Morrow at the World Junior Championship (with a broken finger). Or, maybe, just give these Blackbears credit for rolling into Magness and taking this game from the Pioneers. And yes, the final score of 5-2 fairly reflected Maine’s on-ice dominance over DU on the night. Continue reading DU a Step Slow, Falls to Maine, 5-2
