2012-13 Colorado Buffaloes vs Utah Basketball game thread

I liked the press in the last few minutes of the half. Hope they bring that back in the 2nd half.

The half-court trap works really well with that smaller lineup. Dre and the Mayor each had 3 first half steals.

 

[Duff Man]

After all that, we lead by 2 at the half. More than his size, we're really missing the additional depth Jelly brings. This team is pretty limited offensively tonight.

We miss Jelly, but we also need to be hitting some open looks.

 

[89BUFF89]

Like the defense need to hit more open looks and drive the hoop more, especially the Mayor...

 

[GoonieBuff]

Not a bad first half, really got after it on the defensive end. Just have to make more shots when we get the open looks.

Interesting. Mark Johnson has already criticized CU's defensive effort twice during halftime.

If Dinwiddie gets going in the 2nd half, the offense will look a lot better. It'd be nice if Adams or Stalzer could hit those open looks though.

Much better later in the half. Tunks was getting abused early.

 

[BIGEZ321]

Cmon Buffs!!!

 

[GoonieBuff]

Much better later in the half. Tunks was getting abused early.

I figured it must have improved greatly. I kept hearing the words trap and steal in the minutes leading up to the end of the half.

Johnson just mentioned once again that they need to play D this half unlike the first half. Brown clarified that the D was good the last five minutes of the half.

Chen has no court vision

 

[rynobuff]

Ski for 3! We need him to play like that if we want to do well in the tourney (both tournies)

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

And Chen follows it up with a 3.

 

[mattrob]

Good way to start the half. Dre's a monster tonight.

 

[Duff Man]

And suddenly we hit two open 3s. Nice!

 

[OUBuff]

okay... now, just leave SHT on the bench now that we have a little momentum

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

And Cal beat Oregon tonight.

 

[OUBuff]

damnit... cal beat ore

 

[rynobuff]

D is really picking it up now. Extend this lead now and end this game. I do not want them keeping it close til the end.

 

[Duff Man]

Was about to jump off the couch if XJ had hit that 3.

 

[OUBuff]

why are p12 officials so unwilling to call fouls

 

[wyobuff]

cal is killing our profile, beat ou. glad the D has picked up, 1-7 for ut in 2nd half

 

[rynobuff]

We sure are making some dumb passes tonight...

 

[Tea Rex]

Nice shot Adams

 

[wyobuff]

finally getting some separation here.....

 

[Duff Man]

Just need a couple buckets and it becomes awfully hard for Utah to come back. The pace and our defense is hurting them.

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

That was terrible transition basketball there.

 

[CVilleBuff]

damnit... cal beat ore

Would have been better for us if Oregon had won, but the good news is that Oregon now falls to 4 losses and is catchable....and that Cal is still catchable, just beat them, they've got 5 losses.

 

[CVilleBuff]

Not sure what we're doing, but we're only up 5...

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Why is Talton playing defense under the basket?

 

[rynobuff]

Ernie Kent is rooting for Utah :lol:
