Ugh what an implosion. This is not the same team we watched in November and December. I wonder if something happened behind the scenes. Off topic, but did we recruit Beers? She's a Valor Christian grad...

2024 Pac 12 Tourney thread- #5 seed WOMEN'S bball (Las Vegas; 1st round game vs. #12 seed Oregon, Wednesday, 3/6, 1:00 PM MT, Pac 12 Network)
- Thread starter AztecBuff
- Start date
This team looked tired the last month. Ran out of gas. Getting beat on the boards and going for loose balls, etc. Hopefully they can rest up and recover the next week+.
The minutes from Sadler in the first half is why she got no run in the second - out of position, scrambling, no good movement on offense.

Yes, JR & Co. did recruit Beers out of HS. She is buddies with Wetta. And with OSU getting screwed during conference realignment perhaps CU will get a second chance
Quay disappearing was actually looking back something that factored in bigly as well as Nolan being shelved
Quay was obviously not part of the gameplan offensively. Not sure why, especially given yesterday. She did do a pretty good job shutting down (Gardiner? I think) until the 4th and OT (especially 2nd OT).
She's been so streaky lately - if she doesn't start off good on O, she just can't get going later in the game.
A two post option would have been slick, cause Quay can score on her own in short range, so amazed that a Netti to Quay game was never established to throw off Beers
Was only following on twitter but I see we had a 12-point lead with ~7 minutes left in regulation and a 5-point lead in the first OT. Tough that we couldn't hang on to either of those leads.
This is why I disagree so strongly with that "truism" we hear all the time in different sports about how it's so hard to beat a team 3 times in the same year. It's not. Once you've beaten someone twice, you're confident as hell that you're better and can take over & make the winning plays. Once you've lost to someone twice, you lack the confident certainty that you can finish them if you're up. The accurate statement would be that it's damn hard to beat a team that's already beaten you twice.

Scoring only 8 in the fourth was deadly, and it was in part due to unforced turnovers, four by Jaylyn. There were just too many poor decisions.
For good portions of the game CU did an outstanding job of limiting OSU's three point looks. Unfortunately, they hit two back to back in the fourth that were instrumental in the Beavers' comeback.

Going to miss having Quay and Sherrod. Was really exciting that we were ranked in the top 5 this year. Will we even finish top 25 now with the dismal finish?
Dude- it has been a disappointing few weeks to end the season in light of how it started, but they absolutely should and will be ranked. They are still number 14 in NET and had a BRUTAL stretch in the schedule. Using NET rankings, their losses came were
- vs #18 (6 points)
- @ #11 (1 point)
- @ #13 (6 points)
- @ #5 (8 points)
- vs #28 (9 points)
- Neutral #18 (OT-6 points)
I like your take but I guess I had higher hopes for this team than having to say that we’re a great team because we lost to other teams in close games. At the end of the day. A W is a W and an L is an L. It’s a pretty big blemish to be pretty consistently losing.
The committee definitely looks at how a team is playing at the end of the season. Over the past 4 weeks, the Buffs are 2-6, That does not bode well for the tournament.
This team has too many lapses in scoring. It keeps happening. It's been true all season. It cost them this game.
Just watched the presser and Sherrod said the loss was on her. I hope she realizes the loss was by the team and it's not on her shoulders alone.

In South Bend. Woof. Go Buffs!
These things are partially useful by seed, and completely useless by opponent
