BOULDER — This year's version of the Colorado Buffaloes — one that has plenty of newcomers and youngsters — is one that could no doubt test coach Tad Boyle's patience.
But these Buffs are also the kind of team that could bring out the best in Boyle, a coach whose ability to develop potential into production has always been one of his strong points.
The Buffs no doubt have some holes to fill from last year's team, one that endured a relatively slow start and then built momentum down the Pac-12 stretch before finishing the year with an NIT loss.
