Generally, Tad Boyle neither disparages nor lauds the intricacies of a basketball schedule. The Colorado men's basketball coach has been consistent in this approach, and at the end of the day the 30-game regular season schedule will include 18 Pac-12 games — nine at home and nine on the road.
However, when the Pac-12 released its weekly pairings for the 2018-19 season on Monday, Boyle couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
When the Buffs tip off the Pac-12 slate at either Arizona or Arizona State in early January, it will mark the fourth consecutive season they have begun league play on the road.
