BOULDER — Colorado coach Tad Boyle has implored his team, even as it has seen many goals it had set for this season float further out of view, to embrace fleeting opportunities.
A last-of-its-kind stage presented for the Buffaloes seniors Saturday night: a home game against a top-10 team.
Derrick White and the Buffs got the message.
The senior point guard scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half to lead CU to a 74-65 upset of No. 10 Oregon, giving the Buffs their biggest highlight in a perplexing season that included seven consecutive losses to open Pac-12 play.
