LAS VEGAS — There will be no end-of-season watch party for the Colorado Buffaloes this year, except perhaps behind closed doors. Yet that doesn’t mean the Buffs’ basketball season is over.
Late Thursday night, after CU was eliminated from the Pac-12 Conference tournament by No. 7 Arizona, head coach Tad Boyle wasn’t ready to start making travel plans for the National Invitation Tournament, the consolation prize for teams with winning records that fall short of making the cut for the Big Dance.
Nevertheless, most projections have the Buffs squarely within the 32-team NIT field, which will be announced live on ESPNU Sunday night at 6:30 p.
