Colorado had just taken care of business against their heated in-state rival from Colorado State, and CU men's basketball coach Tad Boyle was eager to give credit where credit was due.
In this case, at the end of his postgame press conference on Dec. 1 following an 86-80 Buffaloes victory, Boyle wanted to thank the boisterous crowd that made their presence felt from a student section mostly vacant during the previous three home games.
"When you see our student section today, relative to the other three home games, anybody that was here those other three games knows the difference," said Boyle, moments after taking the PA microphone to deliver a similar message to the students from the CU Events Center floor.
