After Colorado's two straight Pac-12 wins over OSU and No. 10 Oregon, and taking into consideration that the team lost its previous three games (USC, Washington and Wazzu) by a combined seven points, with the latter two losses coming in OT, I'm interested to hear people's expectations for this squad in the month of February.
Here's the team's schedule:
Thurs Feb 2 @ Stanford (11-9, 3-5 Pac-12)
Sun Feb 5 @ Cal (14-6, 5-3 Pac-12)
Rematch with Washington at home, Thurs, Feb 9 (9-12, 2-7 Pac-12)
Rematch with Wazzu at home, Sun, Feb 12 (11-10, 4-5 Pac-12)
Thurs, Feb 16 @ OSU (4-18, 0-9 Pac-12)
Sat, Feb 18 @ Oregon (19-3, 8-1 Pac-12)
Thurs Feb 23 vs Utah (15-6, 6-3 Pac-12)
Obviously, the road match with Oregon will be likely the toughest game for Colorado to win in February. Cal and Utah will be good games, too. I expect and quite honestly, demand, a furious display of good Colorado basketball against Washington and Wazzu. Those two are still stinging losses for this team and I'd be quite surprised if Tad and the players haven't circled the games in red marker on their calendars.
I'll take the support side of the above title. Buffs go 5-2 in February, lose to Oregon and Utah on the road to close out the month, but handle Stanford this upcoming Thursday, take down a good Cal team, enact revenge on the Huskies and Cougs, and dispatch the Oregon State Beavers with more ease than last time.
Thoughts? Am I an idiot?
