BOULDER — Just a week ago, Colorado basketball fans were teetering on the edge of despair, despite the fact that their Buffaloes were 8-2 and ranked in the top 35 in the nation in the NCAA NET rankings.
But always the optimist, this corner wrote that there was no reason to succumb to "the sky is falling" attitude.
Now, just seven days later, the sky is once again blue and the future is rosy in the eyes of CU fans. The Buffs put together their best overall effort of the year Saturday and came home from Chicago with a 78-76 overtime win over Dayton, a team that started the day ranked 13th in the AP poll and 10th in the NET.
