LOS ANGELES — Given how the Colorado men's basketball team took on a deer-in-headlights look once USC shifted to a zone defense late in Wednesday night's Pac-12 game, the Buffaloes can expect upcoming opponents to use similar tactics.
Yet considering the array of the Buffs' perimeter shooters that generally have performed well throughout the 2015-16 season, a team that leads the Pac-12 in 3-point percentage should salivate whenever it plays against a zone defense. CU didn't Wednesday.
That is a shortcoming coach Tad Boyle hopes the Buffs (19-8, 8-6 Pac-12) figure out in a hurry.
