Boyle's Buffs Draw Motivation From Pac-12 Preseason Prognostications

CU coach Tad Boyle and senior McKinley Wright believe some folks might be "sleeping" on the Buffs.

BOULDER — Not that Tad Boyle's Colorado Buffaloes were in need of any extra motivation — but just in case, the Pac-12 preseason media poll provided a little extra dose Thursday morning.

The annual prognostication by reporters who cover the league picked the Buffs to finish seventh, a prediction that had to leave Boyle smiling just a bit on the inside.

"I just know that being at Colorado, now going into year 11, we're usually at our best when people are sleeping on us," Boyle said during the conference's Media Day interviews.
