He can break down someone off the dribble? When has he done that? I remember the first time he got on the floor he dunked on the walk ons, but he hasn’t broken down a single rotation player once in his limited minutes.

It isn't that he's not a "tenacious defender," it is that he a disinterested defender, he barely tries.He doesn't play team ball and he's not a "tenacious defender"...
Please...anyone, name one aspect of Clifford's game that is better than Allen's
Allen is the best athlete on the team by a mile, probably is the second best ball in regards of being able to break someone down off the dribble.
If we were a losing team, you'd all be asking the same questions..."why is Tad playing these "scrappy" "hard workers" with no talent over a guy like Allen.
It's like giving Byron Ellis carries because "he's so coachable and puts in the extra effort"
Team ball as well, it is hard to say he is playing basketball. He plays pickup ball, nothing that resembles being a part of an organized offense or defense.
He may be the best player on the team in warm ups but nobody, and absolutely nobody, wins college games on their own, especially when they don't play defense.
I haven't give up on Allen but his not playing isn't why this team has been disappointing this year. Not only should Tad not be playing him but if Tad did play him the message to the rest of the team would be don't listen to the coach, don't worry about the system, just do your own thing.
QA was good enough in high school to get away with that, this isn't high school.
Is nobody going to see if Drew Carter is in the rec center?
And Clifford chasing his man 3 steps behind for the last 6 games is better? At least Quincy might score or at worst be a net zero factor while on the court.
Which part of the crap we're watching counts as "organized offense"?
It's offensive, but I don't think that's what you were going for.

"Systems" are why I hate college basketball when it comes down to it. I prefer the wide open game of the NBA. Not that they don't have systems, but they aren't the rigid BS college coaches employ.
He has two fouls that were straight garbage, so Not entirely his fault.

All of the multi-tool, "wide open game" guys have a more linear path to the NBA. It only looks wide open because they're just ready for the next level. And the NBA isn't street ball.

If they can pull this out hopefully KJ is back for the next one.
I wish I had to worry about doing that.
He's the leading scorer with 16
At least 4 3s
Not the time for wild passes

He's become the guy that every good CU team has had. Roberson, King, Bey. High energy, athletic, can grab you a double double any night
Repeated bad entry passes.
You don't throw a 6 foot fastball to your running 7 footer. You don't try to go between a bunch of legs and throw a below the knees pass to a 6'7"+ guy
Why?

Colorado needs to figure out how to make a semi-contested, one-foot shot.
