GAME THREAD: Buffs @ Bruins
- Thread starter Scotch
- Start date
This morning they've covered the 2 Az games, but nothing on the Buffs yet. Had to be the game of the day. to an extent, CU is still an outsider to many P12 people
Truth is, CU doesn't match up at all with Arizona and has the same issues with UCLA. Those are the 2 teams in the Pac-12 this year that our Buffs had no business beating. Just enjoy it. This is allsome!
Hit the 3-ball: Against UofA 7-16 43.8%, Against UCLA 11-22 50%
Hit free throws: Against UofA 15-17 88.2%, Against UCLA 13-17 76.5%
Put up those kind of numbers and you have a shot to beat anyone.
"Just Enjoy It" You're damn right Nik!!!!!!
The only thing that drove me crazy with Welsh is when they were allowing him to catch with deep post position. This was a huge problem from Wes last season that killed us many games and it's killing this year's team at times. Siewert does better than Dallas on this. It's the biggest thing that Dallas needs to improve in his game.
Great game Buffs!
Why can't I find a single highlight from this game anywhere on the Internet?

It’s being replayed now on P12N LA
Watching the game again this morning showed me a few key things:
First, that Dom Collier is willingly playing good basketball and leads the "2nd Team" very well, and then slides in to the 1st team in critical moments and plays like a senior should. His play has been a big difference this year over last year! He should be considered for some kind of 6th man of the year award.
Second, that Tyler Bey plays way bigger than his size, and his athleticism and length are very effective on both ends. He has a very, very bright future
Thirdly, that Zone defense is effective at certain times and for Tad to avoid it for all these years and then break down and use it this year just might get him a lifetime contract in Boulder. Coaches should never say never to any strategy that works.
Finally, that McKinley is a stud, but in really critical moments, he is a little sloppy with the ball, and specifically tries to dribble behind his back in traffic and in desperate moments he can turn the ball over. Would like to see a little more one on one coaching with him on ball security late in games. Many of those times, Collier is the better ball handler. Get's my heart beat racing when he puts the ball at risk.
Otherwise, this team is a blast to watch, and with Dallas developing, and all the other pieces, Tad has himself quote the team!

Bey-King was dope in Pauley.
Looking forward to Bey-King again in Boulder

Before last night, it was just a different different look to keep a team off balance while hoping the opponent didn't shoot well. But something changed. That was an active, aggressive, effective zone defense. Eyebrow raising, for sure. If this is a thing now, this team is a lot more dangerous.
I thought the announcers on the Pac-12N were pro UCLA. They did comment several times on the active, aggressive zone being played by Colorado.
Oh, they were definitely hoping and expecting UCLA would come back and win.

Swear the announcers called the game with UCLA jocks on their heads.

pac-12 web site has the game recap and highlights. A lot of Thomas Welsh, but still.

Also, pending the outcome of the Utah/USC game tonight,George King should be the clear-cut Pac 12 Player of the Week, even though the Buffs only split. He led the biggest road upset of the week in the conference and played great in the USC loss too. But they'll probably give it to Trier after the cats pulled off the much-less-impressive sweep of the Oregon schools at McKale, and the fact that McKinley Wright won the award last week.
Careful, ppl round here will roast you for saying such things . . .
False. They will roast you for posting endlessly in game threads when the Buffs are losing and then magically disappearing anytime things are going well.
This is where I am at.
But as long as our Buffs are sitting in bubble range (#53 RPI right now), I'll keep the tourney dream alive.
We have 11 wins for the season. We are about to blow through the floor of the "worst case" scenario for the season, and have 2/3 of the conference season + the tourney left to go.
That's with one starter out for the year, and another potential/probable starter sidelined all year. We are almost playing with house money the rest of the year.
Tad may have had his worst coaching job at CU last season (I think so). He is on track to have his best year yet this year.
Conclusion: Tad is back to being a witch. Enjoy the year. We are basically in "gravy" mode from here on out, and already have the best regular season week in CU history in our back pocket.

You don't appear to have any idea what I'm talking about
You appear to not be self aware
I must not be, but what I am referring to was a couple of years ago.
Difference is, he said deep NIT run is good. Not that deep NIT run > NCAA
