When Tad Boyle was hired as Colorado's head basketball coach six years ago, he didn't mention the NCAA Tournament during his introductory press conference.
Boyle has often said, however, that his goal at CU has been to build sustained success.
On Sunday, Boyle said he wasn't sure what the measuring stick actually is for sustained success, but said, "I think we're approaching it and we want to continue it."
Given CU's basketball history, it's safe to say Boyle's there.
Consider that in the 48 seasons from 1964-2011, CU reached the dance just three times. With Sunday's invitation to the tournament, the Buffs are now going for the fourth time in the last five years.
