This defense has been impressive.

Good effort by the Buffs today. Is AFA basketball in the tank?

Basketball and football are having very down years. I can't remember the last year both teams missed out on a postseason. Should be happening in 2013-14.
Too many CU fans logging in. The MWN hasn't ever seen this much traffic.
Everything is a foul sheesh.
Probably. It got stuck buffering and has been very clunky since I re-loaded ever since the CU-UU football game ended.
81-57 FINAL
Solid win for the Buffs. Great defense today with good shooting to break down AFA's defense. Once our frontcourt came alive in the 2nd half, it was a runaway.

Took care of business in first road game. Good to see, but this was a bad AFA squad and CSU will provide a far tougher test.
I agree, their two guards avila and octeus are pretty good, don't know much about their inside game.
I went down to the game today, it's tough to take too much away from these games b/c of the competition, but a few thoughts:
The starters played a lot of minutes for the first 35 minutes before sitting, it won't show in the box b/c of the garbage time but Tad is tightening the rotation. Talton and Hopkins get the most PT off the bench, followed by Thomas and Fletch. King was pretty much out of the main rotation.
The guys are starting to finally get the press, you can see them talking and actually know where on the court they are supposed to be. Wes is still a little lost on it, you could see Dinwiddie getting him in the right place a couple of times.
Tad got on Scott a couple of times about always taking it up with his left, one was blocked that wouldn't have been if he went up with his right and another he was fouled on which would have been an easy and 1 had he gone up with his right.
booker got off to a fantastic start then cooled off quickly, he missed quite a few shots in the first half and beginning of the second, but I only remember 1 shot being egregiously bad.
Air Force played zone the entire game, the first half the movement wasn't great but that was not the case in the second half. Great ball and player movement, best I've ever seen a Tad team play against a zone.
Wes showed a couple of solid post moves, Scott got great position deep in the post all game.

This game was almost too easy. I was hoping for a little more of a challenge from the zoomies. We will need to bring our best effort to beat CSU and KU. Well, maybe not our absolute best against CSU, but definitely KU. My hope was that these two games would sharpen us up a little.
He's #40!
