The court at the CU Events Center is named after Russell "Sox" Walseth for good reason.
Very few coaches have achieved the level of success that Walseth enjoyed during his 20 seasons on the Buffs' bench, from 1956-76.
Tad Boyle's Buffaloes, however, are on a run of success that hasn't been seen since Walseth's years.
After Saturday's 78-67 win against Southern California, the Buffs (19-11, 10-8 Pac-12) have secured a winning conference record for the fifth time in eight years. The last time CU did that was 1962-69, when Walseth had a winning conference mark six times in eight years.
