Thursday night's win, said CU guard Askia Booker, "builds a lot of confidence. But, honestly, if we don't beat Oregon State it doesn't mean anything. At the end of the day, we have another road game . . . if we don't win, that (Thursday night) doesn't mean a whole lot."

Watch out for Oregon State's shooting in this one. They're a very talented offensive team. If they get hot, we can be in trouble. This is a team you have to frustrate from the defensive end.

This is a bit of an unexpected stat considering how frustrating they've been on the road this season. Guess we're starting to get a little spoiled. :lol:
 
I think what I copied from cubuffs.com had the game time wrong. ESPN Gamecast and my tv listings for PACN are both showing a 7pm MT tip.

50/50

Win this one, and I'll start to believe a bit in our team on the road. It would be wins in our last 3/4 and get us to 4-6 in road games on the year.

Right now, we're a .333 win % in road games and playing the 11th place team in the conference. I might be over-confident to put this at 50/50.

KenPom has this at 63% shot of winning, 73-70, Sevenovertimes projected this out at 69 all and Sagarin has CU favored by 3.

The Vegas line has been all over the place, it opend at CU -1 now it is CU +2.5. It is really odd to see a deviation of more than a point or two from KenPom's projection, so 5.5 point difference is unusual to say the least.

Buffs on the road is such a mystery. I know the same can be said of nearly any team on the road, but I could literally see this stretching from anything from Oregon State pulling away at the end to CU winning relatively comfortably. I do like Oregon State winning their last game against Utah, I just feel like that's helpful to us for some reason. Just have to hope our defense is ready to go and doesn't let this be one of those times the Beavs decide to shoot 55 percent.
 
good stuff thanks all. I've finally gotten past the "Hey! That dude passed it to that guy and it went in the thing!" stage but only by a little THe info helps.
 
Their student section looks like my high schools :lol: man unbelievable we were worse than that just a couple years ago.

Good start so far. Don't let them hang in

Before bandwagoners like you and your bros joined the party :thumbsup:
 
If this line up can come up and post some good minutes and some scoring this road trip could have done us some real good in terms of depth. Need to see the killer instinct from the buffs.
 
One early concern is the rebounds, Beavs out-rebounding us 10-7 and we've let them get 5 offensive rebounds already
