FORT COLLINS – Tad Boyle has said at various times over the past month that to realize their potential and find success, his Colorado Buffaloes needed to realize where “their bread is buttered.”
That would be with front-courters Josh Scott and Wesley Gordon – and in Sunday afternoon’s second half in raucous, occasionally crude Moby Arena, the Buffs’ bread was slathered with the Scott/Gordon spread.
This was high-priced stuff, not a bargain bin item, the inside stuff that potential NCAA Tournament teams are made of. Scott craved this game maybe like none other of the Buffs’ previous seven; in last season’s meeting with Colorado State last season in Boulder, he didn’t make a field goal and finished with two points in a 62-60 CU loss.
