The Coloradoan: Colorado pulls off another upset
Scott Procter: "March Madness is about playing your best basketball at the most important time of the season. The Buffs are doing just that, winning 10 of their last 11 games in a variety of different ways. They might be riding too high following an emotional, hard-fought victory in the first round, but it's difficult to pick against the hot hand. Colorado pulls off another upset and advances to the Sweet 16, its first since 1969, beating Marquette 78-73."
