Upstart Colorado popular upset pick vs. Illinois
AUSTIN, Texas – For 50 years, Colorado could usually be dismissed as a program floating around the backwaters of college basketball.
Since coach Tad Boyle arrived in 2010, Colorado sure looks like a program on the rise.
Boyle has led Colorado to the NCAA tournament in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1962-63, and the No. 10-seed Buffaloes (21-11) are a trendy early-round upset pick when they face No. 7 seed Illinois (22-12) today in the East Regional.
