Tad Boyle and the Colorado Buffaloes are in a unique situation as they enter a new and improved era of Big 12 basketball. With the least amount of experience Boyle has seen in his 15-year tenure in Boulder, he will have to rely on mostly inexperienced players to steer the ship and expand their games.

The college basketball season tips off on Monday. The Colorado Buffaloes, the least experienced team in the Big 12, look to celebrate opening night with a victory over an Eastern Washington Eagles team which experienced even more offseason turnover than the Buffs.

The Colorado Buffaloes beat the Eastern Washington Eagles in their season-opener, 76-56. Yet, head coach Tad Boyle will only remember how his team trailed by 17 at one point, unable to take care of the ball, make shots or guard up on the defensive end of the floor.

After a grueling night of basketball, the Colorado Buffaloes thought they were walking away with a slim win over Northern Colorado. A desperate 3-pointer from UNCo's Marcell McCreary to end regulation forced overtime, which turned into two before the Buffs won 90-88.

Not every college basketball team can say they are undefeated. But, the energy surrounding the Colorado Buffaloes doesn't scream, "Undefeated," after two shaky wins to open the year. With a winless Cal State Fullerton squad coming down the pipe, the Buffs can somewhat prove their worth with a dominant victory.

Entering Wednesday night, the Colorado Buffaloes looked to play a clean 40 minutes of basketball against a Cal State Fullerton squad lacking promise. While the Buffs still had 16 turnovers, the offense and defense took strides as multiple individual performances fueled a 30-point win.

Against another team from a non-power conference, the Colorado Buffaloes once again struggled with turnovers and a lack of inconsistency. In the second half, the Buffs limited their turnovers and broke the game open as they now look ahead to Maui.
