Not really that surprising we lost. With our limited availability and relying on Hammond, Clifford, Wright, and Gabbidon that much, they absolute have a better team than what we put out there.
Thank God this abomination of a season is over.

Shut the **** up!
- We really needed KJ in this game. He would've had a field day against that defense and his speed would've helped against that guard.
- Lovering showing promise, I like it.
- Ethan looking like Knutson last few games. Best to you going forward.
- Tad really needed to make better defensive adjustments in this game.
- Clifford really got cooked defensively. Hope this beatdown toughens him up.
- TDS is gonna be really good next year.
- As is Cody Williams mehehe...
-- I'm loving LOB.
- Hammond has proven to be a serviceable backup, but he needs to get in the weight room, bulk up and work on his handle.
- CU will be lit next year with a nucleus of TDS, Simpson, Williams, Lovering, LOB.
Bounce back time!!! Go Buffs!!!

Whatever, I guess you just scream at CU all night and don't actually watch the other team. You should try it.
Congrats to the core of players that put together a nice string of wins from the Utah game till now! Best ability is availability and the few left standing were very courageous.
On to next year
On to next year
There's no reason why we shouldn't have played Woodbury really physically. He should have felt really sore after this game. We had plenty of fouls to give.

That nucleus is promising, but what’s after that? Ruffin is having his third knee surgery. Hopefully Hadley is back. And Diop and Hurlbert contribute. We gotta get Nique out of the rotation.

Hadley should be just fine we'll before the start of the season. Are you worried about him transferring? That's unfounded.
You got that starting five, Hadley, Hurlburt, Ruffin hopefully a couple transfers at the guard spots.
Then see if you get anything out of Smith, Anderson, Diop, and Allen if he's back
PG is an issue next year too I’m afraid.
I kept thinking that this was Lawson after the weekend "fan" scolding:

Have to get a transfer
KJ, Williams (point forward?), Hammond and . . . RJ?
At least we have another wing coming in
It would be so cool if Tad let's Williams take point.
I will also give LL some credit for his best game of the season!
Gain 15 pounds
Learn how to hold the ball tightly
Get your free throws up to 65%
Might have something
But if there is a transfer available to push for the starting Center spot, go for it, and if LL beats him out, we good

I don't really think there's much choice - unless we get 2 transfers that can actually play point.

Why do we need two PG transfers? KJ is a point, then you need a backup point.
Well I just scored
And it’s not super small. I’ve seen half that size at different points in the season.

I’m really hoping Nique isn’t one of those classic players that Tad has a soft spot for and gives way more leeway to as a result — but who knows, if he stays and comes off the bench on a semi-healthy team maybe we’ll see a different player
I'm worried this is exactly what Tad is thinking. But, a perfect case not doing this is last night's game. Both Hammond and Clifford were completely outclassed by their counterparts on a team from the WAC. If I were Tad I would've been standing by UVU's bus last night, so I could make a pitch to both Harmon and Woodbury to transfer in and play in the "Mighty PAC 12." I would take both in a heartbeat. While that might be a bit farfetched, there are going to be 30-40 dudes just like them in the portal soon - guys with absolute grit, mental toughness and really good games. Things I don't think Hammond and Clifford have.
