I'm going to remain convinced this team is too talented to be this crap from three for this long a period until otherwise convinced. This group is going to do Terrible things at some point.

Tad benching Kee for the last two minutes after that turn over is very telling. Doesn’t trust him right now.

Also! To all the Luke Obrien haters, if we don’t have him we might not win tonight! Him and Simpson consistently play with the most energy.
The defense on Baldwin tonight was impressive.
I saw a lot to be encouraged by in this game.
3pt shooting is killing us. 3/15 tonight. If we start knocking them down at just an average level, Jabari & Evan will have space to dominate inside, guards will have driving lanes.

Good win Buffs! Offense looked horrendous once again, but I like how Tad went away from the two high post guy offense. I felt the court spacing was better throughout the game. With this team I have to keep reminding myself to be patient with the young guys. Nice to see LOB play well and for Walker to answer the bell in crunch time. Maybe the offensive woes is a blessing for this team since they are being forced to learn and believe in Defense.
We have the potential to be so dominant inside, but we have to even a hint of a threat from outside to have a chance.
Teams are just going to dare us to beat them from 3, and judging from results so far, we're not going to be able to do it.
It also just seems like we go for long stretches without a guy who is willing to step up and be the man offensively. Evan is a great leader, but he's not the guy who can put the team on his back when we're struggling offensively. I don't know if it's Walker, Kee, KJ, or someone I'm not thinking about, but we need that offensive leader to appear.
Good for him. Not exactly in his prime anymore, however. Happens to the best of us.
Yeah, but we were playing ****ing Milwaukee. We gotta be able to shoot better. Turnovers are killer, for sure, but shooting 42% from the field and 20% from 3 at home isn't going to beat the teams we have to beat to reach the postseason, even if we take care of the ball and play the best defense we can.
Tad said on the radio in his post game in his 11 years here, they’re 75-6 when holding opponents under 40% shooting and out rebounding by 8.
Also, KJ needs to be on the floor more, take the good with the bad and all the growing pains that come with it. He’s a dynamic athlete, and plays with arguably as much passion and emotion as Battey.

Agreed but when we are getting stops and turnovers our offense can run downhill and the buckets are easier when the other team is on it’s heels.

I thought I'd read a lot of negative comments from Tad this morning. Instead he was very low key and pretty positive. Fragile egos to care for?
We have 3 or 4 guys right on the edge of coming into their own, and I think this team will be much better in a few weeks.
Tad's coaching failure, was over-estimating the likelihood these guys could develop and play well, w/o more cummulative experience. I was one of many who advocated he keep JH (or 1 of the other transfers) around for another year.

This was CU's best defensive effort of the season by far. I knew Tad wasn't going to be mad.

Exactly. CU didn't give a potential top-5 NBA pick anything last night. They were all over the boards after the first 5-6 minutes of the game. The offense was actually executing pretty well, given the number of open looks that CU had, especially in the 2nd half. It's frustrating when open 3's and shots at the rim aren't going in, but last night was a perfect example of how defense and rebounding can win a game when the offense just isn't scoring.
That's fair, and maybe that's where offense is going to have to come from with these guys.
