bsn BSN: Twi-lights: CU Buffs fall in conference opener

[RSSBot]

The Colorado Buffaloes were lacking in execution tonight as they played their conference opener in Berkeley. On New Years Day the Buffs were feeling the effects of a hangover from their nine-day layoff as they couldn’t shake off the rust while playing the California Golden Bears. The Buffs have begun the Pac-12 season 0-1 with their 79-65 loss.

Below are BSN Denver’s tweets of the game:

Game doesn't start for 4 hours but there are like 30 #CUBuffs fans outside Haas Pavilion already.

This start is less than ideal. Get the ball inside

​

Lackadaisical.

Who wants to say it with me? "every possession that scott doesn't touch the ball is a wasted possession"

— JG (@jgisland) January 2, 2016
​

That was the dirtiest dunk I've ever seen live

— Matt Sisneros (@Matt_Sisneros) January 2, 2016
​

Thus far it looks like the Buffs forgot to come back from winter break… Yuck

— Abbey Shea (@abbeyshea) January 2, 2016
​

Pass the ball. Cut with aggression. Get back on defense. Do something. Anything.

— Tyler Ziskin (@TZiskBuff) January 2, 2016
​

Lmao. Well we are playing for Sunday I guess.

​

Is this karma for making fun of the Stanford/Utah game?

​

DON'T HURT JOSH SCOTT

— Abbey Shea (@abbeyshea) January 2, 2016
​

2016 sucks. Scott is hurt.

— Tyler Ziskin (@TZiskBuff) January 2, 2016
​

Buffs down 10-0 and Josh Scott gets rolled up on his ankle. 2016 going well.

— Ryan Koenigsberg (@RyanKoenigsberg) January 2, 2016
​

#CUBuffs have missed first eight field-goals, turned it over three times & Josh Scott left the court in pain. Disastrous start. Cal up 10-2.

— Adam Munsterteiger (@adamcm777) January 2, 2016
​

Cal's help defense is outstanding. Wow.

Buffs first FG comes 8 mins in…

J40 back out there but the Buffs are in trouble otherwise.

​

Buffs, this is some

King getting abused by 3 Bears whenever he drives. Dished to Scott this time and it leads to FTs

— Matt Sisneros (@Matt_Sisneros) January 2, 2016
​

Wow. Getting out worked in every possible way.

— Tyler Ziskin (@TZiskBuff) January 2, 2016
​

This game is bad.

​

The Buffs have come back from a double-digit deficit in all of their road wins this year.

— Ryan Koenigsberg (@RyanKoenigsberg) January 2, 2016
​

@Shapalicious Hoped for a split on the road trip. More disappointed in general look of confusion we appear to have.

This is why you can never believe those "New year, new me" posts.

— Ryan Koenigsberg (@RyanKoenigsberg) January 2, 2016
​

We can't hit the broadside of a barn & we're shooting midrange jumpers early in the shot clock? What in Naismith's name is going on here?

— Abbey Shea (@abbeyshea) January 2, 2016
​

Choosing to believe tonight is more "Cal realizing their potential finally" than "CU crashing to earth". But Sunday is now HUGE.

— James Lucas (@CUGoose) January 2, 2016
​

Collier +/- -18 in the first half.

Me: Josh Fortune is their only chance. Josh Fortune: *Nails three*

@RyanKoenigsberg help us Josh Fortune…you're our only hope. pic.twitter.com/6wDhmXnuRS

King gets one from deep, cuts the lead to 18 at 65-47. Buffs now 3-of-7 from deep in the 2nd half.

​

Not gonna create excuses as Cal's the better team, but they also played 3 days ago. CU last played 9 days ago. The rust showed.

— James Lucas (@CUGoose) January 2, 2016
​

Unfortunately, Cal got out to the fast start and it was over before it even started. Need to fix that on Sunday.

— James Lucas (@CUGoose) January 2, 2016

I have unfollowed three people during this game, and 2016 is off to a great start

​

Buffs have looked terrible all year TBH.

— Ryan Koenigsberg (@RyanKoenigsberg) January 2, 2016
​

I thought that pac12 parody meant everyone would finish 12-6 not 8-10

Obviously Linda has made her mark on the men's team, too #CUltureOfMediocrity @William_Whelan @Rumblinbuffalo @TZiskBuff @RyanKoenigsberg

— Jack Barsch (@JackBarsch) January 2, 2016
​

Final score: Cal. 79, Colorado 65. Buffs fall to 11-3, 0-1 in @Pac12. Next at Stanford Sunday on @ESPNU #GoBuffs #RollTad
