Boyle's Buffs Prepare For Two Critical Home Games
BOULDER — Nobody needs to remind the Colorado Buffaloes what's at stake this week.
The No. 18/17 Buffs (20-6 overall, 9-4 Pac-12) play their final two home games of the year this week, beginning with a 7 p.m. game Thursday against USC at the CU Events Center (ESPN2), followed by Saturday's 2 p.m. home finale against UCLA (CBS).
The math says they need a home sweep to remain in the driver's seat for a regular season conference title, something the Buffs haven't won since 1969.
Their coach doesn't disagree.
"They're must wins," CU coach Tad Boyle said after Tuesday's practice. "If we want to compete for a league championship, they're absolute must wins."
