BOULDER — If the Colorado Buffaloes are indeed going to make a strong stretch run in Pac-12 play, it has to begin at home.
Four of the Buffs’ remaining seven games are at the Coors Events Center, beginning with Thursday’s 8 p.m. matchup with Washington State and followed by Saturday’s noon meeting with Washington (both on Pac-12 Networks).
The 17-7 Buffs, currently tied for fifth with a 6-5 Pac-12 record, still have their eye on at least a top-four conference finish and first-round bye in the conference tournament. Currently owners of a two-game losing streak, they’ll need to shed memories of back-to-back losses on their recent Oregon road trip and recapture the effort that has produced a 12-1 record at home.
