For the fifth time program history the Colorado Basketball mens and women’s teams have gotten to another 20 win season. The men now look onto the Pac-12 Conference Tournament in a great place. Coming in as the 4 seed with a first round bye. Some fans earlier this week did not think it would be possible.

Tad Boyle and company left no stones unturned the way they finished the regular season. The Buffs dominated Utah Saturday evening winning big on the road 84-71. They clinched their first winning road record in 53 years.

It goes to show you despite the controversy how good of a Head coach Tad Boyle is. A team strained with injuries went out there and got it done. They were guaranteed the first round bye into the tournament win or lose. However, a loss would have made a fourth place tie between Colorado, Washington, and Washington State. CU earned every bit of that first round bye.

The duo of Evan Battey and Jabari Walker in post season play is going to be something special and exciting to watch at T-Mobile Arena. The women already put on a show in Vegas, now it’s the mens turn to show the nation what Colorado basketball can do.

It is the second consecutive year Colorado has earned themselves a first round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament. They will face either the No. 5 seed Oregon or No. 12 seed Oregon State on Thursday, March 10th at 2:30 p.m. PT on the Pac-12 Network.

We took to see Twitter to see the how the pride of Buff Nation feel after the big win. Here’s what some of them had to say:
