BOULDER — While it has been just a little more than a month since Colorado and Arizona State met for the first time this season, in some ways it seems like ages.
"I watched our first game against Arizona State and I didn't even recognize the Buffs, relative to what I've seen the last two weeks," Colorado head coach Tad Boyle said earlier this week. "We're a different team. We're in a different spot."
Indeed, the Buffs are a much different team than the one that traveled to Tempe in early January and suffered an 83-61 loss — their largest margin of defeat this season.
