Colorado men's basketball welcomes Cason Turkaly and family

Jan 4, 2015

The Colorado men's basketball welcomed a special guest to the Coors Event Center on Sunday as the Buffs took on the USC Trojans in Boulder.

Together with Team IMPACT, an organization which helps children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses, the Buffs hosted youngster Cason Turkaly and his family to watch some Pac-12 hoops action. Turkaly, who is affected with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome, has also visited Colorado during practice recently and worked on his jump shot.
