Tad Boyle doesn't have an explanation for it. Neither does George King, the only current Colorado men's basketball player who has made two previous appearances at Colorado State's Moby Arena.
The explanations may be difficult to discern, yet the mystery doesn't alter the reality. During King's five seasons at CU, the Buffs have played far better on the road against their rivals from Fort Collins than they have at home. It's a trend King and the Buffs hope to continue Saturday when they visit the Rams once again (11 a.m., AT&T Sports Network) in the 128th edition of the rivalry.
