Colorado up 3, 1:11 to go. Utah has the ball.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Colorado ball, 3 point lead with 45 seconds left.

 

[Jello Bear]

5 point lead with 14.4 left

 

[Jello Bear]

Marcus Hall just hit a FT to make it a 2 possession game with :11 to play.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

81-78 with 12 seconds. Hall at the line. Makes one. Utah timeout, still 12 seconds. 82-78.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Colorado ball, 5 seconds, 4 point lead. That should do it.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Win.

 

[Jello Bear]

83-78 final, moving on. Fun to watch these guys.

 

[14er]

2 more for $2 million?

Nice.

 

[BuffAlum2007]

FINAL FOUR BABY!!!!

Any chance we get Roby back next week or is he done for the whole tournament? Definitely worried about our depth...

 

[buffgal]

Final Four!!!

 

[Buffnik]

Wow! This would be so great for these guys if they could get the win!

 

[Jello Bear]

I missed this interview last year; Marcus is a class guy.

Who is coaching?

Dwight Thorne. After playing 4 years in Europe, he spent a year as a Grad Assistant at GA Tech. Now, Rodney Billup has hired him to be the Director of Operations for his DU program. One his way up as an assistant. Great to see.

Boulder Camera had an article about it earlier this month: http://www.buffzone.com/mensbasketball/ci_30081341/former-cu-buffs-guard-dwight-thorne-ii-leading

I always respected Dwight's game and on-court demeanor. Wouldn't mind at all if he found his way back to CU as an assistant some day.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Marcus Hall looks to be the players leader. He and DeFault (sp). Coleman and Relaford (sp) are also prominant.

 

[Jeremy]

Marcus Hall has possibly been the best player in the tourney, but he's definitely been the best player in the last 5 minutes of the game. He's been an assassin down the stretch. Will be there in the Bronx for the Final Four! Go Buffs!

 

[BeBe]

................. Will be there in the Bronx for the Final Four! Go Buffs!

You'll have to cheer really really loud to show the team the support of all of us who can't be there.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

**** Yea!

 

[patebuff]

Awesome! Congrats

 

[Buffnik]

If they win the tournament, don't those of us who voted for the team win a few bucks or something?

 

[DeNiro]

Not just with our Colorado team, but I wonder if this tourney helps get guys another shot at pro ball, especially for Europe, China and other countries where their pro ball leagues are growing.

 

[buff4bcs1985]

if we are the late game, I may be there, I'm in NYC Next weekend!

That was my understanding. I voted with several email addresses.

Whoever drew up the last play for CU is a genius.

Looks like if you used all 4 of your votes or recruited a few people and we win it all, you are getting paid. Not a lot of people voted for us compared to the other teams remaining. Seems a little too good to be true.
