Apparently Mel Tucker absolutely loved Bey’s in your face block and stare down. He was apparently all over the refs for the penalty to the point that someone had to calm him down.

That's how you get more Fans and more Support across all programs. One for all and all for One, Go Buffs!!!

Who cast that vote?

fun article about #17 Buffs:

What a total ass: not 1 word of praise for Tad or the team. 'They lost due to O rebounding and TOs'. No mention of our D at all.

I believe this is from 2013? With so many wins over Oregon, I don’t blame you for getting the pressers mixed up.

You may be right. I just googled 'dana altman colo game' I never checked the date.

I didn't see anybody mention Strating. He didn't play many minutes, but they were good ones. Tough guy, nice basket, great pass to LS. He may be a force as the season goes on

I know no team ever plays a perfect game. But we missed several wide open 3’s and a few FT’s. I believe we can play better. Of course Oregon fans believe they had a bad game.

This. Loved his effort. Fearless.

Scotch being all mature and trying to be the voice of reason... but we all know damn well he has already checked our KenPom odds for every remaining game to confirm his belief that we'll go about 14-4 in conference play.

Screw that Pomeranian guy, what does he know anyway???????(His odds have us going 15-3 ).

 

[BuffDog]

I really want us to win our first conference title with the best record and again at the P12 tournament.

The atmosphere was electric from the get go. I didn't realize before arriving that it was nearly a sell out. It was one of the most passionate crowd in years.

On the court CU's ability to defend the high pick-and-roll was a real differnce maker. They had no clue a few weeks ago v Northern Iowa in this department.

Also, not turning the ball over as they had proir to the Dayton was a benefit.

On the flip side, there were a few times when CU didn't get back fast enough after a made basket and gave up and easy one.

Also, it seemed that the Buffs wefe missing lots of wide open looks throughout the game.

They played Tad ball very well last night.

Its only January 3rd so baby steps. Lets beat OSU first. I'll let myself believe a 3-6 seed is possible once the Buffs clinch at least a 4th seed in Vegas. They'll probably need 12 conference wins to get there.

I think this group wins 13-14 games in league. I think the Ducks will do that too, and I expect to play them in Vegas. I don't think we'll beat Oregon or Arizona on the road, and I see a couple other losses-Washington and their goofy zone is always a bitch to play, and they beat us at home LY. Arizona State and Stanford on the road will be tough.....but I think theres a fair amount of fringe NCAA/NIT teams in this league.

Me too ... gawd we're a bunch of old ****s.

Doesn't matter Altman's most recent CU post-game presser was the same. Not a word of praise for CU; UO was the only team out there and THEY lost the game. CU had nothing to do with it!

 

[Rob DeVere]

I have.

Okay, with me, that's three. Anyone else a certified ref?

During college I was a certified high school softball umpire. Was not a fun experience, nor did it pay exceptionally well. Did it for two years.
