BOULDER — The possibility of squaring off Wednesday against Larry Brown, a Hall of Famer and Tad Boyle's basketball coach at Kansas, isn't exactly an entirely new proposition for the Colorado men's coach.
For the past four years, Boyle's Buffaloes have battled Brown's SMU Mustangs in preseason scrimmages.
While several factors have to fall into place for a regular-season matchup to become a reality this week — most notably for Colorado, the need to continue its 10-game winning streak against Penn State on Tuesday in the Las Vegas Classic — the opportunity to play against a team coached by a Hall of Famer and a personal mentor is uncomfortable for Boyle.
