After a bad loss to the Houston Cougars, Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes look to pick up the pieces this week against Wyoming. The preparation started with an unexpected guest in Boulder.
Famous entertainer Ice Cube dropped by Buffs' practice on Tuesday. He took a tour of the facility and talked to the players.
"Much love, much respect to everybody out here," he said. "It's good to see y'all. Just want to tell you, I'm pretty sure a lot of people come out here and talk to y'all. They got a lot to say, you know. But the thing is, you guys got the best of the best. As far as your coaches, you got Hall of Famers. Listen to what they say. They're not only going to try and tell you how to get to the next level, which I'm pretty sure you all are, but also how to be great men.
This isn't the first time Ice Cube has shown his love for Coach Prime. Two years ago, the hip hop icon and Big 3 Basketball founder said he wanted to produce a movie about the Colorado coach. While his history goes back to being a longtime Raiders fan, there's one player he admired coming up in the late 80s. The electrifying one known as "Prime Time"
"One thing I want to tell you guys, do not complain about what you don't get because of the work you didn't put in," Ice Cube added. "So put in the work and it will pay off for you. That's all I got to say"
Fans are preparing to welcome Ice Cube at Ball Arena in Denver on Tuesday night.
