Kiszla: Real miracle of the 20th-ranked CU basketball program? The Buffs refused to cheat their way to the top.

BOULDER — The doubters and cynics said it couldn’t be done here. But in his 10th season on the CU bench, coach Tad Boyle finally has a team capable of beating Kentucky, Gonzaga or any of the elite programs in college basketball.

But maybe this is the real miracle: Boyle and the Buffs dare to chase dreams of March Madness without succumbing to the temptation of folding, spindling or mutilating the NCAA rulebook.

With McKinley Wright IV running the point, junior Tyler Bey living above the rim and Colorado Springs product D’Shawn Schwartz drilling shots from 3-point range, the Buffs are 16-4 and ranked No.
