We should have had this one too...

It was nice to see Nate heat up and actually take some shots near the end of the game, but we still have a lot of work to do. our passing was abysmal, we pretty much went up for no rebounds, and had no penetration on offense the whole game.

On the bright side though I think Tech had less people in their stadium that we would if it was in Boulder!

yeah, should of won that one

I’m not gonna even get into my issues with the team (type of defense they run which in turn really hurts their rebounding and NO offensive identity other than “let Higgins do his thing”) but yeah, that crowd was absolutely pathetic! (and I normally wouldn’t talk being a CU b-ball fan) looked like there were about 20 students in the student section. They had big crowds when The General was coaching, must of just been to see him do something crazy.

I was also glad to see Tomlinson knock down those 2 3s but really, he has made 2 FGs in 3 Big 12 games. I’ve been really dissapointed in how he’s played the last 2 games (I’m sure Mizzou was bad too, but I didn’t watch that one). Horrible ball-handling and passing plus he isn’t an offensive threat at all, the opposing team doesn’t even have to guard him so then they can double Higgins. We better beat Tech at home, they aren’t very good.
