Go Buffs!

ABOUT THE BUFFALOES: Colorado is 9-3 overall and 1-1 in the Pac-12 Conference. The Buffaloes are back in action for the first time in 16 days and will play just their second game in the last 23 days.

Colorado hasn't played since a 60-46 win over CSU Bakersfield on Dec. 18 at the CU Events Center. The Buffaloes saw their nonconference finale against No. 7 Kansas on Dec. 21 canceled and their scheduled Pac-12 games at Oregon (Dec. 30) and Oregon State (Jan. 1) postponed due to COVID-19 issues in the Colorado program.

The Buffaloes were able to reschedule their game at Oregon for Jan. 3 and will continue to work with Oregon State on finding a makeup date for the game in Corvallis.

Colorado's layoff is its longest without a game in the middle of a season since 2006-07, when a pair of late December home games were canceled due to weather, causing a 24-day layoff.

Colorado has won 32 of its last 44 games dating back to the beginning of the 2020-21 season. With the win over Eastern Washington, the Buffaloes bounced back from just their second two-game losing streak in the last two seasons, and now have won their last three and six of eight overall.
...

ABOUT THE DUCKS: Oregon is 8-6 overall and 1-2 in the Pac-12 after claiming a 79-66 win over Utah on Jan. 1. The Ducks have won three of their last four, with the lone loss coming to No. 1 ranked Baylor. Oregon averages 71.2 points on 46.6 percent from the field. The Ducks rank third in the Pac-12 in 3-point shooting at 34.9 percent. Defensively, Oregon allows 66.1 points while opponents shoot 43.7 percent from the floor.

Senior guard Will Richardson leads Oregon at 13.6 points and 3.6 assists per game. Richardson has a team-best 29 3-point field goals and shoots 45 percent from beyond the arc. Guard De'Vion Harmon is second on the team in scoring at 10.1 points per game and second in steals (16). Jacob Young ranks third on the team in scoring (10.1 ppg) and ranks fifth in the Pac-12 in steals (19). N'Faly Dante averages 8.0 points and 5.1 rebounds while leading the Pac-12 in shooting at 67.8 percent.

SERIES RECORDS: This will be the 24th meeting between Colorado and Oregon with the Buffaloes holding an 13-10 series lead. The teams split their season series in 2020-21, each holding serve at home. Colorado claimed the home win with a 79-72 decision on Jan. 7 in Boulder while the Ducks countered with a 60-56 win in Eugene on Feb. 18. That is the trend in this series as the home team has won the last 13 regular season games. The last road win was a 48-47 Colorado triumph in Eugene on Feb. 7, 2013. Oregon holds an 9-2 lead in Eugene.

Per the Buffzone (Pat Rooney) preview (see link below for full article), "The Buffs are expecting to have their full roster available after going through short-squad workouts for much of the past week while players cleared COVID quarantine protocols. "

BOULDER –The University of Colorado's men's basketball game at Oregon on Monday, Jan. 3, has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within the Ducks' program.

Colorado and Oregon will work together to reschedule the game for a later date. The game had originally been slated for Thursday, Dec. 30, but was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols within the Buffaloes' program.

Colorado is still working with Oregon State to reschedule the game in Corvallis, originally scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 1, that was affected by the Buffaloes' COVID-19 issues. The Buffaloes, 9-3 overall and 1-1 in the Pac-12, are next scheduled to host Washington State on Thursday, Jan. 6, at 7 p.m. at the CU Events Center.

Was looking forward to CU playing.....but I can live with this because Washington and Washington State are scheduled to come down here this weekend. Those two are must Ws.

I'm frustrated. I get it. I'm annoyed too.

But a few reasons why we can't proceed
  • We "think" the Omicron is less severe than previous versions, but still confirming
  • No knowledge about long Covid symptoms, that still haven't dissipated for folks after 2 years

Personally, I'm modestly optimistic about Omicron. But until I know for sure, I will continue to rapid test all family members (3 in the last week - all negative). And be cautious, not as much about myself, but about others.

Viruses attenuate over time while becoming more infectious, what is there to "think" about? Let the players play, it's a cold.

The variants aren’t going to stop, though. There will be another at some point this year. Covid will be the next flu where people will get the vaccine every year if they want it and there’s no guaranteeing the vaccine will help against whatever variant is circulating.

Promote vaccines as best we can, but at some point life, along with sports, have to get back to normal. If you’re feeling sick, you don’t play, just like players did 2+ years ago when they had gotten sick.
