Rush The Court on the PAC-12 Quarterfinals

[Goose]

Some interesting stuff in there, but here's the important info:

2.) Give Colorado credit - There’s only one team in the Pac-12 Tournament that is playing for their basketball lives and that’s the Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs shot well in the first half and hung on for a big win over Oregon. Tad Boyle seems to have made it very clear to his guys that their only way to dance is to win. Credit his players for playing with passion and credit the Buffs’ fans for providing support. If you aren’t on the Colorado bandwagon yet, jump aboard because they are the most exciting thing going on at the Pac-12 Tourney thus far.

and

3.) It’s time for a change of scenery – Rumors have been swirling this week about the Pac-12 Tournament moving to Las Vegas next year. It’s a move that makes sense given all the empty seats in L.A. this year. Only one student section showed up to support its team – those incredible kids from Colorado. Even in the rivalry game between Stanford and Cal, it was few and far between in the stands. Los Angeles is not known for its rowdy crowds, and even the Laker games are quiet. Hopefully a move to Vegas will get people excited again.

Sending the students is best thing Bohn has ever done. Just so effing cool. I just emailed him that link and thanked him for doing it.

that is an awesome idea. I know we can criticize some players and coaches, but if they do something right, we let them know.

It is a great idea. I just dropped him an email to do the same.

Bohn gets a lot of ****, and I think that some of the criticism is fair, but what he's done for atmosphere at CU games is unreal. I know Bzz laid the groundwork and Tad took us to a new level, but the things Bohn has done to increase student participation has been unreal. Moving the students, doing the loyalty program, pumping the band up, sending fans to LA... it's night & day from even 5 years ago.

More accolades for those kids, this time from the Pac12

The Buffaloes will take on No. 2-seed Cal in Friday night’s 8:30 p.m. semifinal at the Staples Center, the winner earning a berth to the conference tournament finals. The two teams split their regular-season meeting, the home team winning each game.

But first, a little time for celebration for Colorado.

The Colorado student section, the largest student gathering at the tournament thus far, rocked back and forth as the Buffaloes band played the school song after the victory.​
