Colorado on the other hand is doing fairly well, cruising through the first few rounds en route to the "final four" (because it's the NIT).

With many thanks to star sophomore guard Alec Burks , who delivered 20 pts. per game, things were looking up in Boulder......until yesterday. Ok fine, maybe the Bufs did have 13 losses, including losses to San Francisco and Baylor, but with 2...
