Effort is . . . . LackingNice when two guys get out rebounded by a guy laying on his back. Way to go Buffs.
NmBarthelemy can jump so f****** high.
This was KJs first start of his careerCan't believe WSU tried a 3 with 2 seconds left. Literally, fast forwarded though the whole game. My only thoughts were: Maybe Simpson should come off the bench, rebounding sucked arse, and 3 road games in 6 days is too much for us. Sad to say, there will be no postseason for our bunch. I'm feeling down. Bummer.
I didn’t watch much of it. I was recording and sort of checking in and it went south so quickly that I blew through it. But I did watch early on and KJ was really pressing. I’d suspect getting the start sort of got into his head.This was KJs first start of his career
I had some folks jump down my throat, basically calling me an idiot, this past summer questioning why those seniors were "so it appeared" allowed to just kinda walk. I felt that it was strange that they let Schwartz and Horne just move on but then later brought in Mason Faulkner [didn't make sense]. I couldn't help but feel like Schwartz or Horne would have probably stayed around had they simply been asked, and I didn't feel that they were asked to stay.Tad got a little big for his pants letting all the seniors walk.
Then Tristan and Nique don't have the sophomore jumps they are having. I'll ask again does having those guys make us 1-2 wins better this season? Are those 1-2 more wins worth significantly lowering our expectations for 22-23 season? Since Nique and Tristan would barely play this year. Do Nique and Tristan transfer going into this year if D'Shawn or Jeriah stays? Also, these decisions were all made with the expectation that Quincy Allen plays this year. One of the best recruits all time at CU and the DC Gatorade POY out of high school who was hurt last minute preseason.I had some folks jump down my throat, basically calling me an idiot, this past summer questioning why those seniors were "so it appeared" allowed to just kinda walk.

Perhaps they were not, and they both literally wanted to get out of town, but I do find that hard to believe. Well, now, having either of those players would be huge, and may have been enough to where the team maybe has an extra win or two right now. Sadly, who knows.
Looking at the remainder of the schedule and all things being equal, the best we're likely to finish the regular season is 20-9. The worst, 17-13. So, drop it somewhere in the middle with a homer's eye and say 19-11. Win one, lose one in the Pac 12 tourney and we're sitting at 20-12. That gets us into the NIT with a first round home game which is what the team goal should be right now - any post season experience.Then Tristan and Nique don't have the sophomore jumps they are having.

As @Buffnik mentions the Washington road trip always kills us. We are a young team with the preseason expectation winning 17 games. At 13-8 we just completed the hardest stretch of our schedule. We have 3 home games in a row. With two Utah games, Oregon State, Cal, ASU, and Stanford still on the schedule we are still very much on pace for meeting/exceeding those preseason expectations while also seriously improving our 22-23 prospects.
I believe that the biggest benefit for the guys that transferred is they get 2 years of education paid for at the new school versus 1 more if they stayed at CU.I had some folks jump down my throat, basically calling me an idiot, this past summer questioning why those seniors were "so it appeared" allowed to just kinda walk.
