BOULDER — While Tad Boyle's Colorado Buffaloes might not have their backs completely against the wall, there's no doubt they have precious little wiggle room as they attempt to keep their postseason hopes alive.
But at the moment, Boyle isn't as concerned about March possibilities as he is about January realities — and the reality is his Buffs (11-8 overall, 3-5 Pac-12) need a couple of wins to regain their confidence.
The good news is the Buffs are back at home this week after a disappointing Los Angeles road trip. CU had second-half leads against both USC and UCLA, but couldn't close the deal in either game and came home empty-handed.
