Loyola. We want an A10 opponent on our schedule not a sh!t a$$ MWC opponent. That conference is a gigantic sweaty taint.

Dude has some old man game. Andre Miller-esque
KJ keeps this **** up and he won't be here next year ;-)
Losing to UMass and Grambling is disappointing. Tennessee and A&M may have been overrated but each will win some more OOC games then do reasonably well in conference. Because of the media focus on that conference schools will be overrated at the end of the season and those wins will look a lot more important than the two losses.
Tennessee is not overrated.
aTm is overrated for where they are in November, but I think they'll be a beast by February.
Yep. Too early to say. But I like KJ’s trajectory.
I have updated the thread title and original post to reflect that the Buff's next opponent (and last of this tourney) is Boise State, who cruised to a 70-48 win over Loyola of Chicago yesterday evening. The CU-BSU game, to be shown on ESPNNews, is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM MT tomorrow (Sunday).

CONWAY, S.C. — Tad Boyle's Colorado Buffaloes have developed an interesting pattern this year — lose when favored, then knock off a ranked team in their next outing.
The Buffs completed the pattern for the second time in this young season Friday, bouncing back from an opening loss to UMass in the Myrtle Beach Invitational to dominate No. 24 Texas A&M in a 103-75 win in the consolation bracket.
The Buffaloes used a career-best 30 points from guard KJ Simpson to improve to 3-2 while the Aggies dropped to 2-2.
Colorado will next play Boise State in the tourney's fifth place game Sunday at 5 p.m.
CU's win over the Aggies came just five days after a 78-66 victory over No. 11 Tennessee — which came on the heels of a surprising loss to Grambling State.
True to form, the Buffs were once again a different team Friday than the squad that lost its previous outing. CU jumped on the Aggies early and never let up, building a 54-33 lead at intermission and extending the cushion to as much as 33 in the second half.
Simpson was one of four Buffs in double figures, shooting 11-for-17 from the floor (4-for-8 from 3-point range) to finish with 30 points, seven rebounds, six steals and three assists. Reserve Ethan Wright added 15 points — all on 3-pointers — while Javon Ruffin had 14 points and Nique Clifford chipped in 11.
Colorado finished a blistering 34-for-59 from the field, including 16-for-32 from long range. The Buffs racked up a season-best 22 assists and also had a 35-28 edge on the boards.
Defensively, CU resorted to a rarely used zone and the strategy befuddled the Aggies the entire game. Texas A&M shot 24-for-60 from the floor and just 7-for-20 from beyond the arc.
"We did a great job of sharing the ball," said Boyle, who collected win No. 257 as CU's head coach, four away from tying the all-time program record. "We had 22 assists — that's what happens when you share the ball and make shots. But I told our team I'm tired of bounce-back wins. Now let's build off some wins. That's the next step."
...
TURNING POINT: Colorado trailed 14-12 early, but used a 15-2 run to take a 27-16 lead, then built the margin to 13 two minutes later and the Aggies never closed the gap to single digits again.
WHAT IT MEANS: The win gave the Buffs two wins against ranked opponents away from home, something CU hadn't done since the 2012-13 season.
KEY STATISTICS: Colorado finished a blistering 34-for-59 from the field, including 16-for-32 from long range …. The Buffs racked up a season-best 22 assists .. CU had a 35-28 edge on the boards … Texas A&M shot 24-for-60 from the floor and just 7-for-20 from beyond the arc.
NOTEWORTHY: CU's 54 first-half points were the most in a half against a ranked team since Colorado scored 58 against No. 15 Arizona in the second half of their Pac-12 tourney game in 2016 … J'Vonne Hadley did not play after suffering a shoulder injury in Thursday's game. Jalen Gabbidon started in his place ... Center Lawson Lovering had four assists, tying him for the team high with Clifford.
NEXT UP: The Buffs will play in the fifth place game Sunday at 5 p.m. against Boise State. The 2-2 Broncos lost to Charlotte in their opener and beat Loyola (Chicago) on Friday.

So, Scott Frost is the most unlucky coach in history?
I thought we played a total game. Even with foul trouble, we were locked in on defense. They had no flow, no big runs.. Our ball movement looked really good,and of course we were finally hitting shots.
I think the most shocking thing for me was our ability to switch to zone for a large portion of the game and to have it work as well, and Tad said later that Luke had never played the middle of it, so another good on him.
I'm not sure we were 30 points better, but we dominated the game, especially the first half.
Tennessee will finish something like 23-6. A&M will be 21-10. We'll be more than fine with these wins on our resume.
Honestly, given our performance against non-SEC teams, I'm surprised we're favored at all.
More generally, I'd guess our inconsistency would scare anyone from picking CU to win big. Especially on a neutral court.

I'm hoping they've learned a lesson that will last through the road trip
