BOULDER — Late Thursday night, after his Buffs had absorbed a 76-74 loss to Oregon State on their home floor, Colorado coach Tad Boyle still expressed confidence in his team's ability to finish strong.
"The beautiful thing about college basketball is a lot of people count people out in certainly January and February," Boyle said. "People are counting out the Buffaloes and I understand why. But our job is to prove those people wrong and continue to improve every day and try to figure out how to win our next game. If we can get on a roll, which we're fully capable of doing, we can make some noise in this league coming down the stretch.
