Buffs Know NCAA Matchup With Hoyas Offers Opportunity For National Respect

INDIANAPOLIS — Earlier this week, Colorado coach Tad Boyle noted there are usually two kinds of teams in the NCAA Tournament:

The first, Boyle said, are "those that are just happy to be here. They feel like they've climbed the mountaintop and have arrived."

The second, according to Boyle, are the teams "hungry to advance and not satisfied with just being here."

Boyle's fifth-seeded Buffaloes have a chance to prove they are one of the latter Saturday when they meet 13-12 Georgetown in a 10:15 a.m. game at Hinkle Fieldhouse (CBS).

Saturday's game will mark the fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in Boyle's 11 years in Boulder.
