Fortune has no confidence in his shot and is a turnover machine. Tad needs to restrict his minutes.
Would like to see more of Brown.

I'll amend my statement on Fortune, 2 of take your pick: turnovers, horrible fouls, head down drives 1 on 3, stuffs by the rim, low IQ plays, etc.
I know the loss isn't on him but I'd rather get Brown and Peters ready for conference play. Josh has had his chances let the freshmen learn from some mistakes.

Don't think this team has to worry about tourney time.
I thought this team would be better, considering the experience returning and you add white's play so far, it should be better. Gordon and fortune have not played well and would like to see Brown and Peters get a few more minutes.
This loss shouldn't hurt much. Now the CSU loss, yeah that could be bad.
He has shown a propensity to get into foul trouble. Since he, XJ and GK are our only consistent scorers, he needs to stay in games and not on the bench.

If they tank in MWC play. This team is in pretty good shape IMO right now. Had a feeling this one would be tough-that's one of the tougher places to win west of the Rockies. Got very good wins over Xavier and Texas, but still need to win 12-13 conference games. Thats doable given UO and UCLA once, and UCLA at home
Actually I didn't look at the RPI #'s before I posted. We're in the low 100's and both BYU and CSU are below us. Not good.
Why?
Folks acting like the team is 3-7 instead of 7-3.
Wins over Texas and Xavier this year. Expect they'll be 10-3 entering conference play.
The negativity from fans is total bull****.
You don't **** the bed against CSU and BYU and expect people to be excited about going to a game. This is a senior laden team that shouldn't be having these issues.

Right, sends a great message that we will only aupport you if you're winning all your games.

I'm sure most fairweather fans agree with your position.
Or, people could just show up to watch basketball. The csu affair aside, team's been fun to watch. And didn't **** the bed against byu really, byu was favored, and is a tough road game. Certainly can't ever deflect the "fair weather fan" narrative if 2 losses makes you give up for the season.
Tl;dr - can and will continue to bitch about attendance. Come out and cheer them on
Our fans don't deserve Tad.
Looks like another year when everyone whines as they win 20+ games and go to the Dance but just don't meet the expectations of a fan base that has no reason to feel entitled.

Yes. I haven't posted for a while, got tired of the wide fluctuations in posts depending on the latest result. Beat TX, we're winning the conference. Lose to CSU, we're not making the NIT. Beat Xavier, we're back to dominating the PAC12. Lose to BYU, we're on the edge of oblivian.
It's a season, there will be ups and downs. Looking like a decent team, not sure how it will wind up, but I'm very sure we will neither win nor lose all remaining games. Maybe there should be a separate "Debbie downer" thread and a separate "over-the-top" thread for irrational posts.

The whine and cheese crowd will never be happy. Their arguments are irrational at best. Propensity to foul hasn't fouled out yet. White style leads to fouls. Blocking shots playing defense and driving to basket.
Like mentioned early need to win 14-15 games. That puts at 21-22 which is team ref season record. Also means conference record is solid.
Let it play out.

I'll be a $20 donation to CU Athletics that this team doesn't make the tournament. The first stretch of conference play is rough and I don't think this team can bounce back from adversity. Not to mention the lack of a big man will be the end of us whenever we play one.
You have to give people a reason to want to go. When people see stuff like what happened last night, they rapidly come to the conclusion that they have better things to do.
If you're a huge basketball fan, it won't matter. Most people are not huge basketball fans.

Buffs will lose games. Even some early but stretch is st home with home rims. 15-6 rest of the way. That's the goal. Team believe in each other.

The Texas win is not as great as it once was. They're not ranked 22 anymore. RPI 125 or so, and falling fast.
Going to the dance is not confirmed by a long shot. They could well go to the dance and win 20+ games. They could win 20+ games and not go to the dance. They could do neither.
Got a nice win against Long Beach State and will be Top 50 by the end of the season when the Committee evaluates CU's resume. Bank it.

Kansas and Oklahoma games are boosters win or lose. Get to 20 wins that will boost RPI. 5 games with AZ Oregon USC Ucla

RPI doesn't matter right now. Middle Tennessee, UNC Wilmington, and UT Arlington all have top 25 RPIs at the moment.
This next point is for this entire board-RELAX. We're fine. We should be 10-3 (forgot about the Fort Hays game) going into league play, and we've got a couple really good wins already-which was something we didn't have last year. Was the CSU loss concerning? Yes, but it may not hurt. There is no harm in losing to Notre Dame on a neutral floor or BYU in Provo. Enough with the sky is falling posts.

Conference play team could win between 10 and 15 games. That would include winning games late in the year. Really need 12 or more conference wins which includes 6 more losses. 22 wins with several wins being quality.
