The Colorado Buffaloes (14-9) defeated the (3-17) Oregon State Beavers 86-63 at the CU Events Center on Saturday, February 5th. Head Coach Tad Boyle discussed how the lopsided win may have been due to the many injuries, and also reviewed what he told his team in the post-game meeting.
“Much needed win for us,” Boyle said. “Mentally and emotionally. We caught a wounded Oregon State team. Obviously they didn’t have their point guard tonight, they didn’t have (Warith) Alatishe, but we needed this. We shot the ball well, and hopefully we gained some confidence from this. I told our team after the game, ‘We have to prepare ourselves for the nights when the ball does not go in, when the ball does go in like it did tonight it makes things a lot easier and cures a lot of ills.
