Welcome to the Ralphie Report as the Colorado Buffaloes get ready to take on the Oregon State Beavers as part of the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Challenge in Corvallis, Oregon. The Buffaloes hope to continue the Big 12 dominance in the series as the conference holds an early 4-0 lead over the Pac-10, including a thrilling upset victory by Texas Tech over the #10 Washington Huskies. A solid road win here would be the Buffaloes third victory in a row and is a must have if the Buffs hope to continue to carry momentum into the conference schedule.
From CUBuffs.com:
CU in the Big 12/Pac-10 Harwood Series: CU is 0-2 in the series with both losses coming against Stanford (76-62 in 2008; 67-43 in 2007). Oregon State is also 0-2 losing to Iowa State (71-64 in 2007; 63-50 in 2008). Over the three years, the Pac-10 holds a slim 13-12 edge.
OSU UPDATE: The Beavers bring a 2-3 mark into Friday's game with wins over South Dakota (62-47) and on the road against George Washington, 64-57. OSU returns nine letterwinners and four starters from its CBI title team that went 18-18 in Craig Robinson's first year at the helm. OSU went 12-7 at home last year.

Momentum
I’m hoping the guys pull out a big road win against a PAC-10 team. A win tonight would build on the confidence they gained in Hawaii. Bzdelik has these guys believing in themselves.
damn FSN!
they’re not showing the CU game because of the DU-CC hockey game. looks like i’ll maybe be able to catch the 2nd half… : /
Sloppy play
We need to clean it up b/c we’re giving the ball away.

these officials are killing us
And the announcers are obviously Pac- ten people.
Higgins needs to get it going

I can't tell you from actually watching them
but based on who they’ve lost to I would say not that good. They were picked middle pack in the pac-10 though
This is a must win game
We need to start getting some confidence by beating good/decent teams on the road. Looks like OSU fans support their basketball team about the same as CU.
Our sloppy play is killing me, we should be up by 10

That freshman
Burks looks awesome!
Ala Hawkins we’re young and we need to cinch some things up! Thankfully, Bz doesn’t believe that and this team looks much better than the past few years. Now, get the win.

i like that the coaches are wearing suits
last year they looked kind of tacky with the gold polos all year
First time watching this year...
Is this the quality of play we’ve had all year, or is this an off night?
just based on the 2nd half
about how we’ve looked all year. we shoot and pass pretty good but are really weak inside
Can't seem to get anything inside
and when we actaully do, shots end up as off balanced bricks….
No stregnth down low
I know bzdelik likes to recruit skilled big guys
but we could really use a big bruiser just to rebound and post up. I guess dufault is our best “inside” player but he’s a jumpshooter and doesn’t really crash the boards
Time for Higgins
To step up! If he wants to get drafted into the NBA this is the time to show something

No killer instinct
This team cannot finish just like the football team. We have no inside game whatsoever and that will kill us when big XII play begins. Hope we pull it out…

a very tough loss

Damn
This team has no ability to finish games. Bz, you better coach them up before the Big 12 season starts. Very disappointed, ughhh.
