BOULDER — There is no doubt where Colorado coach Tad Boyle expects his team to be a year from now when the 2020 postseason rolls around.
Boyle has made it clear he believes his Buffaloes should be playing in the NCAA Tournament next March.
It's a legitimate expectation with which Colorado fans no doubt agree. Boyle's team went 23-13 this year, including a 10-8 Pac-12 record that was good enough for a tie for fourth in the final standings and a fifth-place seed in the conference tournament. The Buffs had two first-team all-conference selections, played well down the stretch — 12 wins in their last 16 games while advancing to the NIT quarterfinals — and perhaps most importantly, boast a team that is expected to have everyone who finished the year in uniform back for the 2019-20 season.
