especially in conference. and despite the sub-par play that got the Buffs into OT, winning a road OT game is huge. especially in conference.

I keep wondering what the dynamic is between Spencer and Ski. I think they're both good kids and great ballplayers, but I can't help but wonder if all the attention Ski has been getting this year - especially being named Pac-12 player of the week after our two biggest wins (KU and Oregon) - resulted in Spencer throwing a pity party for himself the last couple days. It looked to me like Spencer sulked his way through the game last night, at least offensively. "Well, everyone loves Ski, here is the ball with two seconds on the shot clock Ski, do your thing."
Perhaps I'm grasping at straws here, but Spencer has the tools to take over almost any game. It is frustrating to watch him constantly defer to others on the team.

Whatever the reason for the poor play will be rectified the next four days. Tad said in his presser that he is happy we have until sunday, because he can get in some extra practices. I hope we get down to seattle this morning and hit up their gym tonight. Settle in, get depth perception set, and play how we expect them to. One thing to keep in mind is this game even though it was "home" for WSU, it looked and felt like a neutral site game. The team has not played well in those kind of arena's so far.
Hope Spencer gets healthy quick, last night proved just how much we need him.

If I have to guess then I'll go with something personal / not basketball related (hungover, girl troubles, burned out, over tired, etc.).
I think he was just having a bad day and it translated over to his game.
The good news is we still won despite WSU's best game and our absolute worst game.
Booker, Scott and Xavier (Free throw shooting aside) made some big plays though. Talton's 3 was huge, too.
Well, I hope they figure that out before March.
Maybe Tad should have them practice once a week down at the Pepsi Center.
Spencer needs to be aggressive and full of energy from the jump. The team follows his lead. Good or bad, luckily Booker's energy and aggressive nature is there on a consistent basis.
Great players are locked in for just about every game, regardless if they're sick or whatever. I don't know what's up, but Spencer went through the motions, epitomized by his lack of focus from the free throw line at the end of the game.
I love Spencer and he has the tools, but his energy and aggressiveness needs to consistently be at a high level. If that happens, the Buffs will be a Top 10 team. His aggressiveness opens things up for everyone else on the team.
Dinwiddie is our best player and we'll go as far as he takes us, period!!!
Also, Lamar Hurd pisses me off more than any other color guy I have ever listened too.
Another sign CU basketball has arrived - we go on the road, play crappy basketball and still win the game.
It's been pointed out a lot, but I'll repeat it - there are no easy wins on the road in the Pac 12. Even WSU. Even USC. Even OSU. I'm sure WSU was feeling a little stung by the fact that they just got humiliated at AZ. They have pride, too. What better way to show that they're not as bad as they showed in Arizona than by playing lights-out against the #15 team in the country? This was a confluence of factors that all added up to a bad game for CU, and a great game by WSU - and we STILL WON THE GAME.
It wasn't that long ago that CU was the WSU of the Big 12. We'd get boat raced at Kansas or Oklahoma and come home to beat Texas or Missouri or KSU. It happens. Instead of jumping off bridges, we should simply breathe a sigh of relief and move on.

Do you really think WSU has pride too?
If you are going to run your mouth about 18-0 in conference and call your self the best team then people are going to taunt you when you play poorly, and honestly its not even like spencer was playing poorly it was like he didnt want to be there.
I said this to Goose during the OSU game he looked the same, something is up he's even more passive and deferential than normal. Even against Oregon Artis was there taunting him he didnt do or say **** to Artis. As big as Spencer is he should have cleared out the side backed Artis down and shot it over him. Then asked him to shut-up like he did the CSU students.

Video game syndrome
Every game is not going to be a blowout. That only happens in video games. The other team is on scholarship too and played for pride in their conference opener.

What did they play for last week when they scored 7 points in the first half against Arizona?
I wasn't all that upset with him. He is fairly monotonous and boring.

On the other hand, I feel like Raferty sucks so much more. He kept saying you don't need this(points) when Moser kept hitting 3s at the end of the Oregon game. Typical, because he sucked Duck d1ck the entire game. He also knows nothing about basketball except for catch phrases that he thinks are creative.

They played the #1 team in the country on the road. What's your point?
Jamal Anderson disagrees with you.
For some reason I thought it was at WSU. No?
I would have rather seen Treshaun in for the defense at the end of the game in exchange for XT. He would have bothered that shot more.
