BOULDER — It is a college basketball maxim that players make their biggest jumps in improvement between their freshman and sophomore years.

If that is indeed the case, the Colorado Buffaloes might be in the midst of one of their most important offseasons in recent memory — simply because the Buffs have so many freshmen in position to make such a jump.

"Now they know what their weaknesses are, they know what college basketball is all about, they know what the Pac-12 demands of them," Colorado head coach Tad Boyle said.
