Horrible officiating is going to cost the Buffs the win. It's shameful how one-sided the calls have been, because CU is the better team tonight and deserves the victory.

I'm not usually one to say this, but the officiating has been horrendously in favor of Iowa.

I don't think it's a question anymore. MK3 is the most impactful freshman we've had since Chauncey.
MK4... im not gonna fix it for you... you need to feel shame... also... WHAT THE ****... OF ALL THE WAYS TO GET A TECHNICAL FOUL...

Refs simply refuse to call fouls on Iowa. It's unreal.

FIRST bad call against Iowa, and their fans are booing! They've been getting every call (and non-call) all night, and the too-little-too-late make up call gets them upset. Unbelievable.
MK4 is too unselfish. He gets an open look, pull the trigger.
Want to re-watch this second half to see the half dozen really poor calls, starting with that massive CARRY on the dribble early in the first half. Buffs up by 5, and then the crappy calls just kept adding up. Gotta fight through it, but still so young at spots, not sure how to do that yet. The better team did not win!!!

We were also terrible from the line in our limited opportunities there.
Yep, that definitely needs work.

Most I've been able to watch any game so far this season. Definitely a fun squad to watch, but I'm not sure there are going to be more than 5 or 6 conference wins.
Dallas Walton showed the ability to score in the first half, he looks lost a lot on defense though and is not aggressive at all on the boards.

High energy pro Iowa crowd which appeared to influence the refs a wee bit. Iowa went to the line 36 times to 17 for the Buffs. Game, set, match.

Top 75 KenPom. So not horrible.
This. Not sure what conference the refs were from, but they were somewhat obviously effected by the pro Iowa crowd, and this team is still too young to overcome that.
Team does have the talent to be good with a year or two of experience and growth. Definitely need to get much stronger on the boards, both mentally and physically.

Not horrible, but they're a lower middle to bottom Big 10 team.

Similar to us. We would have won at CEC.

Typical Tad offensive performance...year seven....no tourney this year....lower third Pac 12 finish expected...is this our future??? One NCAA tournament win every 7 years? Dont tell me we are young...will get better. What players got better under Tads coaching? Dinwiddie was good at the outset...as was Booker...Scott.... Collier and King have not gotten appreciably better...maybe Dallas Walton but he is tbd still. MK4 is the BEST player on the team without doubt..like Dinwiddie dude has skills. The long term prognosis on Tad is to lurk a little below .500 in conf and finish 5th/6th....get a tourney bid every other year...I guess that is good enuff...

Yep, Dinwiddie, Booker, Scott...all came in to the program scoring more points, dishing out more assists, grabbing more boards, and genuinely looking like better players...than when they left.
It's been said time and time again, there are valid criticisms of Tad, especially when it comes to the offensive side of the floor. Using baseless opinions lazily disguised as facts to push your agenda isn't the right approach, my dude.
Two questions for you. How many CU bball games have you been to this year? And what programs would you use as realistic ones to aspire to?
My answers: I live in Denver, am a fan, have no wife or kids, work a 9-5, and have been to 1 this season. I'd say that we can realistically attain similar success to Cal (more densely populated area, richer bball heritage), Georgia (spoiler: they aren't successful but are in a similar bball situation), or Minnesota being the best case (similar metro area, balance of bball and football heritage)
