As the final buzzer sounded in Des Moines, Iowa's Wells Fargo Arena, the Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball season came to an end with a 74-67 loss to UConn in the first round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament — the third first-round loss for Colorado since 2013.
For head coach, Tad Boyle, this was no ordinary off-season. With Josh Scott's iconic career coming to an end, the Buffaloes were not only losing their best player, but the face of the program. As questions loomed regarding the condition of the post-Scott era for Colorado basketball, Boyle remained confident about the future of his program, which starts with the debut of transfer guard Derrick White.
