Running the first six possessions of offense through your worst player is certainly a choice.
How in the world could Tacko be worse than Malone?

Finally a counter punch.
Don't think we get all the way back into this one though.

How do they play so fast and these games are low scoring as all get out?
If we started our best 5 (Dak, Michaeli, Rancik, Isaiah and Hargress), the bench doesn't have many guys I want to see enter the game.
I guess I'm cool with working on developing Sanders, Holland and Tacko. Kossaras played pretty well early in the season as a 3&D glue guy, but he's fallen off a cliff.

Johnson is the man
Cincy is really unskilled offensively

I haven’t been able to watch. Are we ending the game with the same starters? Our second half is generally much better this year.
We win this game if Malone had 0 minutes.
I don't understand how you can watch the furious comeback against Texas tech with Malone on the bench and then heavily involve him in this game. Again tonight, we made our runs with him on the bench.

Hargress/Isaiah/Felix/Dak/Michaeli. IJ got loose with the ball a couple of times, but was really good as a scorer. I think Felix subbed Sanders when we had to start chasing 3s (he's 7% for the year, which makes him unplayable at times, while Felix has been over 40%).

THE BUFFALOES: Colorado is 12-5 overall and 2-2 in Big 12 play, dropping its second-straight conference game, 77-68, at Cincinnati on Jan. 14. The Buffaloes enjoyed a 2-0 start to league play for the second time in three seasons (2023-24 Pac-12) after its 85-73 win over Utah on Jan. 7 in its conference home opener. It was CU's third 2-0 start in its Big 12 history joining the 2010-11 and 1996-97 teams.
Colorado has matched its win total from the 2024-25, 31-game regular season (12-19). The Buffaloes are just one win away from matching their conference win total from a year ago. Colorado would finish with 14 overall wins after a pair of wins in the Big 12 Championship (14-21).

The Buffaloes also sport top 50 national rankings in free throws made (28th, 18.9), field goal percentage (40th, .489) and assist-to-turnover ratio (48th, 1.5).
SCORING BALANCE: Colorado has had at least four players score in double figures in 13 of 17 games, including the first nine. The Buffaloes have had four games with at least five scoring in double digits.

Seems like the best bets have been to not cover the spread in the 1st half.
"Shoot" around?

If it makes anyone feel better Cincy just beat #2 Iowa State at home too. Winning on the road in conference is tough for anyone.
Can't find a stream for this one.
