BOULDER — With every win the Colorado Buffaloes put the in the bank, the value of the next game also grows significantly.
"You want to put yourself in a position where games matter in February," head coach Tad Boyle said Tuesday. "Our guys have done that. It's a testament to them. They've put themselves in a position where games matter in February."
Indeed, the team many folks had written off just a couple of weeks ago after a 2-6 start in Pac-12 play is in a very different position. Thanks to a five-game win streak, Colorado has moved from 10th place to a three-way tie for fifth in the conference standings and is in good position to make a run at a top-four finish.
