2011-12 Review Part 1: A hell of a ride

It's easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of March.  The beauty of the collegiate game is that, with the lose-and-go-home tournament format, anything is possible at the end of the year.  In 2012, CU finally took advantage of that system, and ran the table in LA, securing the program's first conference title in over 40 years.  That alone makes the season a resounding success.

However, to properly understand the value of a season, you need to pull back your lens and refocus on the year as a whole.  After the jump, I'm going to go on a narrative journey through the 2011-12 basketball season, delving into the story lines to get a better appreciation for how the season developed.  Next week, I'll conclude with some thoughts on player performance, and an overall look as the team's statistical trends.
