Might be the worst loss I've ever seen.

this seriously dampers my enthusiasm, feel like I need to take a breather from this team, was way too stoked and apparently had too high of expectations that they’d improve and not regress as the season went on
You want to argue, not going to be today. I need to go take a walk after that game. Let the Tad hating start with you guys. The best coach we have had but had a bad game today. Whatever

I know you live and die by the three, but I've never seen both in one game.

Outscored by 22 in 8:46. That's really hard to do.

shouldnt have used the term argue, good call on the walk, we’re all just frustrated
Almost got out before seeing this. Argue is what you were starting with what is your rationale. That is what you were looking for
That Plummer kid getting hot was ridiculous, but the 4 points we scored during that huge Utah run was the reason we lost. Turnovers, bad shots, missed layups.
It's like a broken record.
The dreaded KOD:
My pac 12 feed went out and was fuzzy and/or was playing 4 minute commercials during that meltdown. No idea what happened, but sounds awful. But it looks like a big assist from the refs.

Buffs had three free throws in the second half by my count, two on a technical foul by the coach. Need to play in the paint more.
Not surprised at all. Boyle's team are almost always incredibly soft when they have high expectations. Anyone who's being honest can see this program has 100% peaked at mediocrity with Boyle. It won't matter who he recruits or how much talent is on the roster - Boyle's a second tier, soft coach who can lose at any time to worse teams if there is any pressure to win.
The lack of toughness today was absolutely embarrassing, but there's no pressure whatsoever on Boyle - he knows he can retire here regardless of performance. What's different today is this is a program defining loss. No where to really go from here with Boyle.

just looking for someone to tell me this happens to all teams so I can shrug it off and get back to enjoying the season and looking forward to a sweet 16 run
Drew goodman also shills for the monforts

Lucky you.
Refs weren’t great but this is hardly their fault.
This is an NIT level team, not an NCAA tourney team.
It doesnt happen to all the teams. We beat Utah on the road but with this loss, we look like we will be lucky to finish in the middle of the conference.
It’s tough because I think you can’t find a better person to run this program but from a coaching stand point, you are right- we lose the games that count and when expectations are high, we lose.
We should really be playing in the MWC. We’d dominate there.
No, I say this is clearly an NCAA team based on its talent. Unfortunately, this team's lack of mental toughness (just like last year ) is a direct reflection of a soft head coach with no pressure on him whatsoever by the AD. None of this can be fixed, IMO, regardless of the players.
I don't think we would dominate in the Mtn West. We would still lose many games we should win due to a lack of mental toughness.

@buffs233 and @90sBuff this is still a team full of quality young men who are fun to watch most of the time, will finish in the top half of the league, and will make the NCAA tourney
I was reactionary and emotional in my posts, but my main point is we need to appreciate Tad for who he is and maybe slightly lower expectations, which is totally fine considering how historically not good CU basketball as been

Didn't see the game but losing at home in an ugly fashion is never good.
Keep in mind this is college basketball in the PAC. There is very rarely a year when good teams don't suffer an ugly loss. This isn't playoffs, it is regular season basketball and we are a good team but not so good as to to be immune to a bad day.
At this point it is simple. Tad needs to use this loss to motivate this team to be as good as they actually can be.
If he does, and he is a good enough coach that I'd be surprised if he doesn't use it that way, then we could end up as a better team for this.
Still though concerned about our propensity to have dead periods on the offensive end. The players have to suck it up, bring it together, and figure out as a team how to break those bad spells instead of making them worse.

even though your tone may be slightly different if you watched, gotta say, always appreciate your level-headed takes
