Let's see where this group winds up finishing. They bounced back from an ugly first half tonight, but let's not get too excited over this win-USC's not very good.
Great comeback! In hindsight, pages 6 and 7 of this thread are a hoot
I am by you and she was obnoxious. I also was able to get under Andy's skin one final time with one of my comments.

Throughout that FBI investigation issue, I got the sense that Tad Boyle had a certain respect for the other coaches, except for Enfield. CU had two timeouts at the end of this game, and... https://www.sbnation.com/college-ba...ge-timeout-fbi-scandal-andy-enfield-tad-boyle
I missed the second half; did we fire Tad after the game?
First half defense non existent. I believe I saw SC was shooting 57% at the half. Second half the defense showed up. SC ended at 36%. 21 points allowed in the second half with a couple garbage time buckets in the last 2 minutes. It’s all about the defense.
**** Andy Enfield.

Terrible refs. They should spend less time lifting weights, and watch more film.
Prime should have stayed till the end.
I usually like Walton, but thought he was an ass last night. His thing about mocking his partner (including taping a note to his head 2x) really makes big bill seem wimpy, imo.
I think Cody is playing at about 85% of his top game. he needs more practice and floor time.
About half the "fans" here, turn on the team when they are struggling. Those people don't care much about the team - it's all about them and their expectations. Maybe some of you should enter a portal and find a team and players you care about.

If he didn’t have the name, he’d be the type of guy every team would love. Good defender, glue guy, smart. And through no fault of his own - or his dad - he gets this unfair burden placed on him. It sucks because by all accounts he’s a good kid who had a horrible health scare and should be allowed to return to game condition over time but they won’t let him. I think he’ll look much better next year.
Goose, you've displayed both humanity and nuanced perspective. That has no place on this board, and you should be ashamed.
Please return to reactionary, uninformed, id-based drivel, at once!

Bronny makes 1st USC start, goes 0-for-7 in loss
Bronny James made his first start for USC, going 0-for-7 from the floor in 25 minutes during a 68-58 loss to Colorado.
Love how this is the number 1 article on ESPNs college basketball section.
Myron Metalf also has an in depth breakdown of Bronnys first performance as a starter which was front page
I for one, am not the least bit surprised that the greatest player of a generation's son gets excess media coverage.
Imagine the hate Shilo would get for a single missed tackle if he wasn't in his brother's shadow.
I was so stoked that he got that pick 6 against CSU.
Such a double edged sword being related to greatness.
Want me to talk about RG?
I like going back and reading exclusively Zandi’s comments after a win. Just bitch, bitch, bitch and then silence as the game is coming to a close.
Listen, Zandi and I disagree on damn near everything - including the use of antidepressants - but dude is a full on true fan and I’ve seen him admit he was wrong before. I can forgive it a bit with him. There are others on the other hand who only get joy out of misery and disappear. Those can get the **** out.
Does not name Seattle and 233.
Like I said, Zandi is a true fan and I disagree with him but still like him in a weird way.
Their behavior is different. They only show up after losses to pile on, then never heard from again until after the next loss.
I classify them as true assholes. Zandi is just comedy. And I do understand he’s actually a true fan.
That was the point I was trying to make.
Not a very exciting game overall but nice bounce back in the 2nd. Williams is impressive in person.
Don't know **** about James but weird seeing him be a complete non-factor.

BOULDER — Colorado overcame a 16-point first half deficit and the Buffaloes rallied in the second half Saturday to take a 68-58 win over Southern California in front of a crowd of 10,005 at the CU Events Center.
Tad Boyle's Buffs ended a three-game losing streak to improve to 12-5 overall and 3-3 in Pac-12 play while also improving to 10-0 at home. The Trojans, playing without their two top scorers, dropped to 8-9, 2-4.
J'Vonne Hadley led the Buffs with 15 points, nine rebounds and three assists. Cody Williams scored 13 and Tristan da Silva and Eddie Lampkin Jr. each scored 12, with Lampkin adding seven rebounds.
Oziyah Sellers led USC with 18.
Colorado trailed by as much as 16 in the first half and the Trojans led 37-24 at the break. But the Buffs burst from the gate after intermission with a 12-2 run and finally took the lead midway through the half. CU then built a five-point lead and maintained that edge until the final minutes, when the Buffs managed to push their cushion to double digits.
Colorado shot just 31 percent in the first half (9-for-29) while the Trojans hit 15 of their 32 shots.
But the Buffs kicked in their defense in the second half and the offense prospered as a result. CU held the Trojans to just 24 percent shooting in the second period (7-for-29) while forcing 10 turnovers and the Buffs converted those miscues into 12 points. Colorado also shot 56 percent after the break (18-for-32).
The Buffs did lose the rebound battle, 40-36, but the big difference came in the transition game. Colorado outscored USC 21-3 in fast break points, with the Buffs tallying 17 of those in the second half.
"The credit goes to our kids," Boyle said. "They were frustrated, down at halftime. We weren't ourselves offensively or defensively. But they dug in in the second half. We really guarded them. They played with grit and toughness and we got the win."
...
TURNING POINT: Colorado's 12-2 run to start the second half changed the entire complexion of the game. Colorado erased USC's double digit lead and finally went ahead midway through the half and kept the Trojans at bay down the stretch.
WHAT IT MEANS: Colorado improved to 10-0 at home this year while ending a three-game losing streak. The Buffs now have a shot at league-leading Oregon next Thursday.
KEY STATISTICS: CU held the Trojans to just 24 percent shooting in the second period (7-for-29) while forcing 10 turnovers. The Buffs converted those miscues into 12 points … Colorado shot 56 percent (18-for-32) in the second half … CU outscored USC 21-3 in fast break points, with the Buffs tallying 17 of those in the second half.
NEXT UP: The Buffs get two more at home, beginning with an 8:30 p.m. game Thursday against Oregon (FS1) and a 5 p.m. contest Saturday against Oregon State (Pac-12 Network).

Buffs Rally To Top USC, Remain Unbeaten At Home

The official box score of Men's Basketball vs USC on 1/13/2024
I still need to see us win a close one away. Fort Collins, Tempe, Berkeley were all winnable.
Sometimes you flip a fair coin 3 times and get tails 3 times in a row, actually like 12.5% of the time.
I think we just way over read into the Cal game, which is a win of TDS cans a wide open 3, which is also in the neighborhood of a coin flip.
