COLORADO @ CSU 12/2 at 11 AM

[rosstr]

Doesn’t help when you’ve lost three bigs: Battey and now Miller for the season and Siewert. We’ve been turned into a small team.

No it doesn’t. But CSU isn’t exactly an inside out team.

Tad just never cultivates a ‘junkyard dog’ mentality. It is readily apparent in contrast to Eustachy’s team, which has deficits across the board, except for that ‘junkyard dog’ mentality.

 

[Bourbon Buff]

This CSU team got beat up by Missouri State, Tulane, and NM State. Ugh.

 

[Da Lama]

Well this game just went to ****. I'm just following the box score, WTH happened?

Our 3 best players are shooting a combined 29% from the field. And 5 true freshman are getting major time on the road against an angry rival. Oh well. Not going to get too worked up about it.

Well this game just went to ****. I'm just following the box score, WTH happened?

- turnover on inbound
- inability to rebound offensively, especially on missed 3s
- blocked shots by CSU’s bigs
- CSU Nixon is ice
- King is hot/cold. No one else providing a spark
- Eustacy has figured out how to defend the buffs

 

[Bourbon Buff]

Down 17.

 

[14er]

This team is still a HELL of a lot more fun to watch than last years.

 

[Bourbon Buff]

Minus 15 on the boards, or so says Drew Goodman.

I agree with that. I hate to turn the page to next year already, but take this youth and add a little bit of interior (eligible Battey, seasoned Walton, healthy Siewert, and maybe Miller-Stewart), and they could be pretty good.

 

[Buffnik]

First road game. Wheels came off. Not all that surprising. Team will learn and grow. Gonna be a fun year.

 

[14er]

Not so fast, my friend.

This. Still loving this team.

 

[mattrob]

So, how about this Wright kid? He may be alright.

 

[jkppkjjkp]

Closed to 6 points, do we have a game?

 

[Da Lama]

This Wright kid is a bit of alright. Holy ****e.

 

[Deleted member 807]

McKinley Wright IV. That young man isn’t ready to lose.

 

[Da Lama]

CSU fans throwing stuff on the court. Stay classy, biyatches.

 

[PAC MAN]

I'm really loving this scrappy team. Where was that team last season?

Playing HS ball in MN.

 

[14er]

Same!

 

[mattrob]

Really poor game from King. Namon hasn't been much better. Sloppy play and tons of forced shots.

 

[Da Lama]

Now, the "F*** CU" chants start up. Trash fans gonna trash it up.

After Nixon initiates contact and flops.

 

[mattrob]

Big bucket by Collier. He's playing a solid game

 

[DBT]

Man, I hate losing to those ****ers more than anyone. ****.

They hate an opposing team more than they like their own. Nihilism.

 

[Deleted member 807]

Minus 14 on rebounds. Ouch

 

[PAC MAN]

Despite the loss, this young squad has that refuse to die attitude and will play hard. Let's go beat New Mexico at home!

 

[Buffnik]

Kind of shocking to see a -14 on rebounds while also having 9 shots blocked. Combine that with a -16 on FT attempts and it's hard to understand how our Buffs only lost by 9. Kept turnovers down and MK4 played really well, but no one else had a good day shooting.

Put it another way and to simplify it: any game when George & Namon shoot a combined 5/22 from the field, I will expect to lose.

 

[DBT]

29-13 freethrow difference. Of course some came at the end. But Eustachy definitely got the ref’s attention.

 

[DBT]

AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! Why do we play like this so often?
