LOS ANGELES — Does anybody besides Washington actually want to win the Pac-12 Conference this winter?
In a league mired in mediocrity throughout the 2018-19 season, why not the Colorado Buffaloes?
No doubt it remains a long shot, to say the least, for the Buffs to reach the NCAA Tournament. Even with a strong finish to the regular season, reaching the Big Dance is most likely going to require winning four games in four consecutive days in Las Vegas at the league tournament next month. It is a difficult way to earn an invitation, yet one coach Tad Boyle's Buffs successfully navigated once before in 2012.
