CHICAGO — The lesson was so pertinent, the Colorado Buffaloes reviewed it twice.
It wasn’t so long ago that a young Buffs club was coming into its own, playing an efficient brand of basketball that led to a push into the Pac-12 Conference tournament semifinals and then the NIT quarterfinals.
Along the way, in the first round of the NIT, the Buffs knocked off Dayton at home while committing just seven turnovers, the low mark for the entire 2018-19 season. While the Buffs have managed to win games so far this year, that sort of offensive efficiency has been lacking for the bulk of the season.
