You just don’t understand the power of the reverse jinx, man.

ease up man/madame, do you make a habit of telling strangers to do that? not very L of you
truly was going for the reverse jinx there, sorry to rub you the wrong way – but screw it, cause it worked!

he's definitely not as good once the ball gets down into the post, but he avoids fouls and his rotation, denial of the entry pass, and help side D has been solid so far this year
Tyler bey is on another level
I was level headed and positive, for the most part, man!
Tad sounds frustrated with the fouls being called against Evan. He called them “ticky tack” and said, “I need to take a look at those.” I think he sort of caught himself before getting too critical of the refs. He thinks Evan gets called for a lot of fouls simply because he is so big and muscular.

He's playing at POY level.
He's a top 10 player for MVP nationally according to Kenpom right now.

I saw that. I'd imagine his performance these last two games has only helped his ranking.
Condensed game. Skips the the 15 to 5 min in the 2nd half.
Bey saved their bacon, played really well. Kin was pressing a bit. I think he's better when he's aggressive to the basket first, that's how he seems to find his rhythm. Wasn't pretty, but got the W. The half court O needs some work. We get deep in the shot clock quite a bit. It is November so maybe that'll work itself out. Hope it does before conference play.
Clemson did a great job of extending its zone to pressure th perimeter.
Buffs did not get the ball into the paint enough to counter that -- mainly because Battey was in foul trouble all night. This was a game that Dallas would have been huge for us if he was all the way back. Without that, we didn't have the size/strength/athleticism combo in a player to match up with Simms while Battey was riding the pine.
Clemson's pretty good. They played well last night.
I'm feeling real good about finding a win.
Good Clemson + Bad Kin Game + Battey Foul Trouble = Buffs Win. Got to love that this team found another way. This time, it was shooting like 95% from the FT line when they'd been a 60% team all season so far. That and playing great defense to force long scoring droughts from Clemson.
Bey was allsome, too. Early favorite for Pac-12 POY?

They had no answer for Simms. Did you watch the game? He was dominating everyone the Buffs threw at him except Battey. Unfortunately Battey was in foul trouble all night because Simms was so athletic and physical.

And how often will we face players like that for the rest of the season save for the tourney?
Too many CU fans jumping to conclusions before the conclusion of the game and you are one of them.
Also, while it is true CU may have had no answer for Simms, CU won. IDC if any single player in a game goes off against the Buffs, if they still pull out the W.
CU is 61st in the nation with an ORtg of 105.4. The defenses that we've played are currently ranked 63rd, 108th, 99th, 130th and 45th. We haven't played a bad defense, and we're putting up solid numbers. Clemson is the 45th team above. The remainder of the season we will only play five teams that currently have better D ratings than them - Kansas (#5), Arizona (#20), Washington (#21), Oregon (#32) and Stanford (#41).
And the Buffs are 14th in the nation in D.

Maybe it's just me but isn't this something we say every year? #Tadball

From watching how he moves, both in the game and during warm ups, I don't think we will see Dallas back to his previous form until next year. His lateral movement and his burst aren't close right now. With everyone's struggles against Sims last night, I am mildly surprised we didn't have a Strating sighting. He is exactly the kind of pesky, balls out player that could throw someone like Sims off his game. I will say that Siewert did a very good job of denying the ball to Sims in the last 4 minutes of the game.

So Clemson was up early in the second half by 10? Correct. And eventually Tad has to make the decision to generally keep Bey and Battey on the floor as without them CU is going to really struggle to score points. And the Buffs gradually get themselves back in the game and figured out how to get the win. In the last 15 minutes or so of the match CU outscored Clemson by 14 points. That's not a bad reaction to a tough situation.
Yup, Battey has to stay on the floor. And get the ball in the low post. This type win is important in the development of the team.
