AP RANKED!

Buffs sweep the weekend, I think they are in or about in the top-10. Oregon will be tough, but I think the key is CU shooting well in the 1st half and not getting down. Went to the Cal game and although Seiwart was way off; hence it was ugly but the team defense, Bey + Wright, and then some timely shooting pulled them through. IMO, it is about Tad finding that hot hand early on the road. Although CU does not have great bigs, the team rebounding is great.
 
Our Buffs are getting used to having a target on their backs and being the hunted. That's a tough next step for a program. When you're ranked high and in 1st place, you're going to get the other team's best effort. On the road, fans will rush the court if we lose now. It's a whole different thing than what we're used to.
 
Bracketology has the Buffs as a 6 seed in Cleveland, which is no bueno, but if that ever happened, maybe Coach Tucker can bring us a couple Thousand extra fans!!!
 
It's mid-February, the Buffs are ranked 16th, in sole possession of first place in the Pac-12, about to play a top-20 game on ESPN.

As die-hards, it is easy to over analyze and torment ourselves over the handful of let down losses, but big picture- how fun is this?? Great time to be following a great group of young men.

Amen

I love the fact that this team is mature and is never out of any game. The Kansas game was the only bummer this season overall, besides the OSU game in which I felt helpless. This is a damn good team, with some great players, including a point guard that reminds me of Chauncey and you can see his mentorship showing up every moment. I will enjoy every game from here on.

The ESPN one that came out today has us as a 5 seed in Spokane (West Region). The 2nd weekend games would be in LA.

The Buffs are embarking on a very difficult road trip, where coming back with a split is a MAJOR victory and coming back 0-2 wouldn't be surprising. So expect to hear some more of those calls between now and Sunday. Just brace yourself and roll with it.

Arizona shot 25% and lost to UCLA in Tucson a week ago. They could certainly step on their dicks again against the Ducks.

I hope you are right, that is the one matchup I just don’t like for our buffs. The UCLA loss should ignite them. As much as the coach is a douche. He can flat out coach

UCLA has been on a year also. We love an LA sweep this week
 
So we lost a close road game to a ranked team, and then boat raced a team in THEIR house that had pinned an earlier loss on us, aaaaaaand, we drop 2 - 4 spots in the polls?

Someone help me here, ima tryin' to keep up.

I think it was probably voters feeling they couldn't rank us above Oregon and they couldn't justify moving Oregon much above where they put them.

Texas Tech is an NIT team. End of story.

Not sure I agree because the bubble is very soft. I would say that they're a team that could lose to anyone in the NIT field but could also win a game against any of the teams that will get a #1 or #2 seed in the Dance. Expect to see them in the field of 68, but I have no idea how to project them in a bracket. That defense is salty, though, when they're right.
