Now that we’re two weeks into the 2015-16 college basketball season, the University of Colorado Buffaloes stand at 5-1 overall and have won five straight since their opening loss against No. 7 Iowa State. But still the question lingers: Is this team actually better than it was last year?
In the grand scheme of things, that can be a difficult question to answer right now.
The Buffs faced a daunting first opponent in Iowa State on Nov. 13, and it didn’t help that they had to play their Big-12 foes on a neutral court in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is just a short drive from the Iowa State in Ames.
