Agreed. Wish we had more PG depth so we could run with it more. Peters will help next year.

1+++ Typical AB, you have to admit.
Really this should be Yaz's team now. He's been the leader on the floor and in team huddles during TO's.
From the start of the year, Tad's been trying to get Dom to lead and be more vocal. Thus far little success.
I say Yaz starts at #1; let Dom come in off the bench or start at #2.
Did not hear this on the broadcast, but damn thats funny. Good work C-Unit

If it's not a Buffs game, I'll often just tune in for the last few minutes of the second half. That's when players make plays.
The back and forth of the first 35 minutes on the clock is just foreplay leading up to the final shot.
I wish all foreplay went back and forth...

Very good win. We did not play soft in the paint. Maybe that had something to do with OSU having freshmen in the post. Either way, I hope Scott and Gordon play aggressive and tough from here on out. They are scary good when they do.
Akyazili is just a hard nose competitor. The pass to King where King got fouled was a thing of beauty. Yaz should start at PG. Dom just doesn't exhibit that leader demeanor. Maybe it will come by his senior year. Right now I agree with the Yaz and Dom starting together with King. That could be a very good combo. We need the moxy that Yaz brings to the court.
Here's hoping that Josh Fortune gets the mental part of the game right. His contribution could be bigger if it wasn't subtracted by his terrible and numerous mistakes. His improvement needs to happen between his ears.
And it looked like even Tad learned from his miscues. Used his timeouts effectively.
A very good win. And we needed that.

Turnovers or points?
**** you
During crunch time Payton was struggling to get open looks. Yaz was guarding him. I read a game recap article on Oregon Live where it talked about Payton praising Yaz for his defense after the game. That's a huge compliment and a great sign. Yaz won't face a better athlete at PG this year than GP2.
After the Utah game the way we played in the first half added to the frustration. Watching us commit turnover after turnover game in and game out is frustrating as hell. Especially the kinds of turnovers we commit. Just stupid, forced passes. Not dribbling off our foot or something. They are preventable.
The lineup of Yaz, Talton, Fletcher, Miller, Gordon that Tad ran out in the first half for about 5 minutes was so atrocious on the offensive end. This was the lineup that went in when the starters got a breather. Tad has to come up w/ a better combo than those five.

I'm old. I've bled black 'n gold since the late 70s. I've suffered through Bill Blair, Tom Apke, Tom Miller, Joe Harrington, Ricardo Patton, and Jeff Bzdelik.
I don't care what any of you say. This **** is ****ing beautiful.
I missed most of the first half so missed that stretch. Perhaps Tad should not do such wholesale change at one time and selectively rest one or two at a time and keep two scoring options on the floor.
This is my main argument for having King come off the bench.
Keep in mind that Tad is not typically in charge of rotations. That is the assistants jobs. They study the matchups and rotate players based on that. Now of course Tad can over rule them, and probably should, but he doesn't make those decisions typically.

And with the exception of Wes, not a particulatly good defensive unit either.
Is the XJ thing dead? The silence is deafening.
Don't post these statements without a picture.
I posted this during the game but to me the most significant thing I saw in the game was the Buffs keeping up the intensity and agressiveness right to the end instead of going conservative and trying to play the clock instead of the opponent.
The character of this team is not a milk the clock, control the ball group, they do best when they are actively trying to push things. I'd rather see them stick with that at the end of games.

Think the BDC ran a story on her last year.
I remember some talk from non-con where people were questioning whether Yaz would be able to stay with PAC-12 level athletes.
I was one of the people who questioned that. I've been very pleasantly surprised and glad to be wrong.
+1.
