Tad Boyle made history in the Colorado Buffaloes win over the Northern Colorado Bears. The 87-77 victory was Boyle’s 261st win as the head coach of the Buffs, tying him Sox Walseth for the school’s all-time record.
This record-tying victory didn’t come as early as it should have — Boyle is disappointed the Buffs are just 7-5 at this point in the season — but the timing works out considering the opponent. Boyle’s head coaching career began in Greeley, his hometown. He took over Northern Colorado as they transitioned from Division II, then built them into one of the best programs in the Big Sky Conference.
