DES MOINES – A teary-eyed Josh Scott walked into his last press conference as a Colorado Buffalo, it had finally hit him that his storied college career had to come to an end.
As he fought back his emotions, his head coach, Tad Boyle, took to the microphone, his own voice cracking a bit.
“I don’t think I’ve ever coached a young man that I felt this way about at this end of his career in terms of his deserving to move on in this tournament,” he said, evoking more emotion out of the Colorado legend.
It’s the end of an era at the University of Colorado, the Josh Scott era, an era littered with success and an era fueled by players from the great state of Colorado.
