Bad time in the season to have a resume-blowing performance.

An old guy in section 207 just yelled at me to cut out the swearing. I felt bad, but there's like only one child in the sectio about 3 rows in front of me. ****ing Westwood...

I've basically come to the conclusion that all this talk about offense, defense, zone, timeouts, etc. is all just bull****.
Just like with the football team, this is a talent issue. It starts with recruiting. We're just bottom tier. It's that simple. We very very rarely beat out other P12 schools - or any power conference school - for anybody. Just look at the big guy we just signed. Wyoming was his best offer besides us. Guys just aren't choosing us when they have a solid option at another power conference school. You can overachieve and coach guys up and occasionally turn that into a great season, but on average, the program will continue to be middling at best.
It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's reality.

Not sure I see us winning again. ASU will be a total toss up.
I am sofa king pissed. I am really ready to stop wasting my time on the buffs. This is like watching the ****ing football team for the last six years. I love Boyle but he has to show us something. This is 5 or 6 horrible efforts in a row. We are lucky we won a few at home. He has to get this straight.
Why? We keep extending him.

We're headed right for 8-8 and a very uncertain postseason

Really think we'll beat ASU? I don't.
And this is not a coaching issue, unless you mean recruiting. With these players, this is who we are ... an NIT level team. Plain and simple.
Deleted as soon as I saw the score. Hey, no TO's for Josh Fortune and 10 points. Looks like GK **** the bed.

Agree, but the trend is worrisome. It's like Tad needs to take a timeout and do a team reset.
Big problem right now is that in conference play teams know you too damn well. Play a zone that extends out on shooters and double J40 in the post. Basically, dare CU to try to get dribble penetration. I don't know if this roster has an answer for it, either. Very concerning.
This goes back to a lack of quality recruiting by Tad. Tad is a nice guy, but he cannot recruit at the Pac-12 level and he cannot make quality changes in-game. It is painful to watch poor lineups inserted, the other team goes on 8-0 or 14-0 spurts with no line-up changes or timeouts. Every game.

This roster does not have an answer for it. Only team in the conference that doesn't have one single legitimate slasher/penetrator guard. That is hard to believe. A gigantic hole in Tad's recruiting.

Expected if you have a NIT staff you have a NIT team right. Note to Boyle defense and rebounding work great when you also install a real offense.
We might be in great shape but it is starting to look like one and done in whatever tourney we end up in.
I felt like we might lose this one because UCLA would really be playing for some kind of tournament placement, but I didn't see us getting hammered like we did. I like Tad Boyle but I am starting to question the teams drive and intensity. Are the Bruins really 20 plus points better than the Buffs this year?

I would say 'not likely' based on the entire season, and I would say 'not at CEC', but the last homestand may suggest otherwise. It could turn around for the Buffs but at this point I'm not optimistic, until / unless I see it happen.

I'm less worried about making the tournament and more worried about CU playing like a tournament caliber team.
The finish line shouldn't be just a seed at the tournament. The finish line should be a sweet sixteen appearance or better.
Yet as the regular season is winding down, the Buffs quality of play and conference record are looking more unremarkable all the time. While any loss is bad, it's the type of losses on this LA road trip that are particularly disappointing. An epic choke and an embarrassing blow-out is no way to make it to the dance, my friends.

Hope we're ready to potentially meet UCLA again in Las Vegas with it being possible that we need a win to make the NCAA Touranment. We've now long since kissed goodbye to the top 4 and may well end up an 8 seed.
