Yep. Shove that Ziplock of Cheerios down your pants and no problem. To be clear - the front of your pants - you don't want security to think you shat yourself.

THE BUFFALOES: Colorado is 8-2 overall and winners of its last three following an 81-70 win over South Dakota State on Dec. 13. The Buffaloes improved to 7-0 at the CU Events Center this season, have won their last 10 home games dating back to last year and have won 23 of 24 since the beginning of the 2023-24 season.

Away from the friendly confines, Colorado placed sixth at the 2024 Maui Invitational. A thrilling 73-72 win over then-No. 2/2 ranked UConn on the tournament's second day (Nov. 26) highlighted the trip for the Buffaloes who eventually fell to No. 5/5 Iowa State 99-71 in the consolation final (fifth place game) on Nov. 27 to round out the event with a 1-2 record. The game against Iowa State counted as a nonconference game and the two long-time rivals are set for a rematch in the Big 12 Conference opener in Boulder on Dec. 30.

Colorado is averaging 76.5 points per game, shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from 3-point range. Colorado's 3-point percentage ranks 28th in the nation and third in the Big 12.

Defensively, Colorado is allowing 69.7 points per game while opponents are shooting 41.4 percent.

The Buffaloes have had a flair for the dramatic this season. Colorado has had to overcome double-figure deficits in three wins including a rally from 11-down in the win over Pacific. The Buffaloes erased a 17-point deficit in the opener over Eastern Washington (details on page 6).

Colorado is 3-2 this season when trailing at the half, compared to the 2024 NCAA Tournament team that won just two of 10 contests in that situation. The Buffaloes are 3-0 in games decided by 10 points or less.

At home the Buffaloes are averaging 80.7 points per game while shooting 49.0 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from 3-point range. Colorado is holding its home opponents to 64.9 points on 37.0 percent shooting while enjoying a plus-10 advantage on the boards.

GRAND GRADS: As anticipated, Colorado's three graduate transfers, spanning all levels of collegiate basketball, have made immediate impacts for the Buffaloes.
...

ABOUT THE KNIGHTS: Bellarmine, out of the Atlantic Sun Conference, is 3-9 overall and has lost two-straight and four of its last five. The Knights are coming off a 92-55 setback at Wyoming on Dec. 19. Bellarmine has just one win against an NCAA Division I opponent, defeating Bowling Green at home, 80-68, on Nov. 23. The Knights average 74.3 points and are the top shooting team in the ASUN both overall (.472) and from 3-point range (.366). Defensively, Bellarmine allows 79.8 points while opponents shoot 48 percent from the field and nearly 40 percent from 3-point range.

Junior guard Ben Johnson averages 13.2 points and has a team-best 30 3-point field goals. Junior guard Billy Smith averages 12.8 points and leads the team in assists (29) and is second in 3-point field goals (29). Junior forward Curt Hopf is Bellarmine's top rebounder at 5.1 per contest.

THE SERIES: This will be the first meeting between Colorado and Bellarmine. The Buffaloes are 9-1 all-time against schools that currently make up the Atlantic Sun Conference, the last game an 84-60 Colorado win over North Alabama on Dec. 15, 2022.

It's a little disappointing that neither CUBuffs.com nor Buffzone have anything about TH and the events today at the keg, on their main internet page today. Buffzone mentions it in their "notes", following their game article. Thanking TH and the team before they leave for the bowl, should be a packed house. Weak publicity.

FWIW: KOA will start broadcasting 1/2 hour before tipoff.
 
KOA noted Shedeur and Travis both on court, wearing BB warm-ups, dunking, shooting. wish I was there. (fwiw: A Walker played on the same HS team as Hammond)
 
The pregame today was allsome !!!

Fantastic non-conference performance, unlikely that any team in the Big XII will be a bad loss, hopefully they can pull off a couple of surprise wins at home.

The line for the Heisman was insane. We skipped and went for food/drinks and took a semi close up. It was at least an hour long all game and went from the concourse down through the IPF

It was a cluster. We got sent down, then told to turn around because it was done for the day (at halftime) then sent back down, told the line was over and then put back in line by someone where we waited for a long time. I too am surprised that Argus had no idea what they were doing.

I expected the Big 12 to be better and didn't think there was any way that our Buffs could compete with a team like UConn, so maybe. Tad's teams always do well at home. It's definitely plausible to get 7 or 8 conference wins.

Big 12 seems vulnerable and no elite teams like years past outside of ISU. But KU, Baylor and even Houston show vulnerability.

I still think we will be tough to beat at home. Crazy to think if we go 7-3 at home and 1-9 on the road we will be on the bubble and I think that’s more than doable.
