Welcome to the Ralphie Report as the Colorado Buffaloes get ready to take on the Coppin State Eagles in the second game of the season. We welcome you to weigh in with your live game analysis, critiques, observations and predictions.
WHAT'S NEW WITH COPPIN STATE: The Eagles are 2-0 on the young season after winning their own tournament defeating Lincoln (Pa.), 76-69 and West Virginia Tech, 63-52. CSU finished 13-19 last year and recorded a tied for 3rd finish in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with a 9-7 mark. Coppin State returns seven letterwinners from a year ago, however according to the CSU Media Relations Office, returning 6-4 sophomore and MEAC All-Freshman team selection Michael Harper (9.3 ppg., 2.8 rpg.) and 6-5 forward Mike Buckley (7.0 ppg. 2.5 rpg.) will not play.
AGAINST THE EAGLES: CU is 2-0 all-time against the Eagles defeating them once in Boulder (Jan. 2, 2001, 91-63) and the other was last year at the Rainbow Classic, 80-63 on Dec. 28. Cory Higgins scored a game-high 21 points with 10 rebounds. Higgins was also 12-of-12 from the free throw line. The Buffs shot 55.3 percent for the game. Casey Crawford chipped-in with 12 points off the bench, while Dwight Thorne added 10 points. Coppin State resides in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Hey boys
Been a while since I got on the site, computers broken and just figured out how to get a decent browser for my phone
Was going to make a fanpost later but what you guys think of any chance mike comes to boulder with kyle as the HC?
The last OC from houston to go back to college(Calhoun) worked out for everyone

Welcome back
It would be nice, but I would be very very surprised if it was anything but conjuncture at this point. I would love to see it happen but I’m certainly not getting my hopes up.

One more thing
Anyone who lives in CO has to get up to the CEC whenever they can.
The tix are dirt cheap and Jeff needs to know there is a fanbase for the buffs, even tho we don’t have the $$ for facilities he was promised he may not bolt when he gets a chance

I'm gonna get to at least a few games this year
Will be nice to watch an improved Buffs hoops team. Plus, it’s cheaper than taking the kids to a movie.

Alex Burks – 18 points
