BOULDER — One year after one of the more frustrating seasons in his head coaching career, a rejuvenated Colorado head coach Tad Boyle is putting forth one of his best coaching efforts yet.

Youth — more accurately the presence of such — can have such an effect.

Not to say this Colorado team will be Boyle's best. That designation will almost certainly still belong to either of Boyle's first two CU teams: the 2010-2011 crew that was snubbed by the NCAA and then advanced to the NIT Final Four; or the 2011-12 team that won four Pac-12 tourney games in four days, then beat UNLV in the NCAA Tournament opener.
