STANFORD, Calif. — On paper, Thursday night's 68-59 Colorado win at Cal won't count more than any other Buffs Pac-12 victory this season.
But as far as being a much-needed lifeline for the Buffs as they wrap up the most difficult stretch of their Pac-12 schedule, CU head coach Tad Boyle had no problem summing up the importance of Thursday's victory.
"Huge, huge, huge," Boyle said in his postgame radio interview.
Thursday's win improved the Buffs to 11-7 overall and 2-4 in Pac-12 play, and it bumped the Buffs up a notch in the conference standings, into a tie for eighth place with Oregon.
