let me know. I don’t see anything yet…

too bad I don’t get the mtn. network..

annoying that this game is on a channel that probably 95% of people in colorado don’t get. lame… I still don’t see anything

What a sad commentary on my life if I’m excited about a televised CU Basketball game… Ho Hum..

and said “C S Ewe”…..

could be a long night

22-19 CSU

let alone lose big

literally stealing the ball out of CU’s hands… CSU doesn’t miss a shot, or they get every single second chance.

42-27

fugly, fugly, fugly

difficult it is to get pumped about Colorado sports

That is our ass they are handing us (again)….

not likely but a few buckets could get us right back in it…

(that is me digging really deep at some hope)

Missed the first half and just turned it on, and now I’m wishing I just missed the whole game. Why do we suck in all sports other than skiing and cross-country running?

thankfully Burks has played well but we won’t win with Higgins having this kind of night

rebounds – CSU 32, CU 21

beat Colorado State as well…

I hate to pull this card, and our shooting was lowsy, thats undeniable, but that was the worst refereed game i have seen in a while. Literally every time we played physical at all, we would get called, yet when we were getting mugged by their D, we wouldn’t get a single call. It was really amazing how inconsistent the calling was. Shameful. At least give us a chance to win refs.

Regardless, CSU is still the little brother. They confirmed that by rushing the court.

For starters we looked nothing like the team we saw in Maui. We came out flat and never really got anything going.
Of the 22 Franklin scored for CSU, 8 came from the line and 10 of the other 14 were gimme baskets. Either a tipped pass led to a defensive scramble leaving him wide open under the basket or simple baseline penetration wasn’t cut off.

Good
- The Buffs showed some heart and pride towards the end of the game. Somewhat battling back to bring it within 6 and although I’m not sure what was said between Relphorde and Ogide that led to the Ogide Tech it was nice to see players sticking up for each other and showing some “controlled fire.”

Bad
- Rebounding, Rebounding, Rebounding!!!!! We looked terrible on the boards last night. Out rebounded 36-25? Size wise I think it was a pretty good matchup for us. Athleticism (which i thought we had an advantage in) can be beat on the boards by hustle and fundamentals (boxing out). Giving up 9 Offensive Rebounds is unacceptable if you want to win on the road.

CSU deserves some credit. They played with heart and to be honest playing hard and wanting it more really did win them the game. There fans were excited and Tim Miles has done a good job of coaching to his players strengths. They also have some talent. Dorian Green can shoot the ball.

I think it’s a little to early to jump off the bandwagon or start the 1-15 talk, granted we have a tough road ahead. Let’s hope the young kids learn from these losses and the upperclass men step up.

While at a party tonight, two comments stuck in my head: “Hawkins must have meant ten wins in his career” and “Colorado: they’re in the Mountain West, right?” Thanks a lot, Bohn.
