Exactly what the doctor ordered. We are going to survive. ASU is a big, big game.
Nice game all around, good confidence builder.
That in mind USC is a BAD basketball team.
Think the Buffs are going to be inconsistent for a while here but Tad has always built for the end of the year. We will lose some that we wouldn't have healthy but somebody is going to get a Buffs team in the conference tourney that is better than our record.

ASU was going to be tough with Spencer. Really looking forward to next week.
Rep to the C-Unit.

Nice win for the Buffs....Looks like Boyle is gonna go nine deep with Stalzer, Talton, Thomas and King off the bench.
I thought the way Booker played today was very Spencer like

Didn't UCLA go like 8 minutes without a FG? Problem was we did too.
The key to me was that last minute before the half. USC had weathered the storm a little bit and were within 12. Had they played good D and managed the clock well, they had a chance to cut the lead to single digits at the half. Instead, XJ gets the 3 point play, USC inexplicably sits on the ball instead of trying to go 2 for 1, conceding the last possession of the half, and Ski hits the long two at the buzzer. Suddenly, we've got a 17 point lead and all the momentum and the game was all but over.
Buffs showed excellent intensity from start to finish. They even played sound ball in garbage time.
This is a Buffs team that is deep in talent. I don't give them much chance against Zona this week and ASU is going to be tough to beat but by the end of season I wouldn't put it past Tad to have them beating anyone they face. Coaching matters, coaching plus talent means you always have a chance.
You can't help but to miss a player like the Mayor but it wouldn't shock me to see Tad overcome it.
Different situation of course but is this team overall less talented right now than the one that won the conference tourney a couple of years ago?

Arizona State will come down a lot to officiating.....if they are allowed to play the kind of basketball they did against us last year CU will have a hard time. If grab and hug isn't allowed it will be very competitive and I give us a good shot at getting it done even on the road
Yea, UCLA went scoreless for 5 minutes but we went 1 for 7 during that same span
So a couple if thoughts:
#1 - Boyle made a huge mistake by not playing Mills early versus UCLA. The team was flat and the crowd was flat. A couple of minutes of Mills would have picked up the energy in the place.
#2 - Most efficient game by Booker ever. I don't need to look at the stats, that was Spencerish
#3 - terrible shot selection today. Lots of longs jumpers that went in. If the them wants to succeed they need to get to the line more
#4 - I think that 80% (completely made up number) of Scott's shots result in a foul or a made shot. He needs the ball more.
#5 - best overall game by Hopkins. Finally figured out he needs to use his feet on defense and not his hands. King and Thomas are still learning.
#6 - I don't know what it is but like watching King on the court. He puts out a lot of effort on both ends of the court, but he is not always in control. It will be fun to watch him develop.
USC is the dumbest team ever. Their big guy had any shot he wanted versus Wes but rarely got the ball. I don't know what to expect next week, but there is still a lot of talent on the roster. I don't think a road split is out of the question. Our biggest problem is that road Booker forces things too much so maybe he doesn't make the trip.

Agree with #1 but hadn't thought of that. Booker's block of the 7 footer is my favorite defensive play so far this year. #5 noticed Hopkins play much better D as noted. Hope he continues to grow. #6 I commented in another thread that I would have like to see King vs. UCLA. He needs to let the game come to him and not force things. I really like his energy.
