BOULDER — Halfway through the Pac-12 season, Tad Boyle’s Colorado Buffaloes find themselves in solid position to earn an NCAA Tournament berth.
The Buffs held a No. 20 ranking in Monday morning’s NCAA RPI, along with a 17-5 overall mark and a 6-3 Pac-12 record. That’s good enough for a four-way tie for second place in the conference with Utah, USC and Washington, just one game behind league leader Oregon.
The Buffs, who beat Oregon in Boulder earlier this season, have a chance to make up ground on the Ducks this week when they travel to Oregon on Thursday for a 7 p.
