TUCSON, Ariz. — In what might be the most wide-open Pac-12 in recent years — not a single conference team is ranked in the nation's top 25 — the Colorado Buffaloes believe opportunity awaits this week as they begin conference play.
But taking advantage of that opportunity won't be easy. It begins with a weekend trip to the desert, where they will open conference play with games at Arizona (7 p.m. Thursday) and Arizona State (4 p.m. Saturday) and an eye on collecting at least one road win — a rarity in conference play.
How rare?
