Haven't followed closely this year but this game supports what I am seeing when I do watch.

Coach Payne is building a quality program. A couple years ago this would not have been possible on Stanford's worst night. The program was in bad shape and needed a complete rebuild, including in the attitude and expectations department.

Have patience, I think we have the right coach. Just give her time and understand that there will be some ups and some downs in the process.
 
Buffs with some sloppy turnovers (and stats show 5 overall) the few minutes I've watched; Cal up 16-20 at the end of the 1st.
 
Buffs down 4 with around 5 minutes left in the half 22-26. Nothing seems to be going their way, so the 4 isn't that bad. Sherrod picked up her 2nd foul with around 6:30 left in the half, so the team will need to work it out without her for awhile.
 
Buffs with a very nice job late to tie it up at 30 going into the half.

Great to see Whitaker making a nice contribution (7 pts. (including a 3))/ 3 rebounds overall in 9 minutes of play) after missing some games with injury. (Believe her 1st play for awhile was against Stanford.)
 
Went for a walk with family, so missed the 2nd half. Congrats to the team for a nice Pac 12 road win!

(Looking at the stats, the Buffs with a big +17 in rebounds is the blaring stat differential between the teams, leading to a 20-8 edge in 2nd chance points.)

The players on this team have never considered quitting. Please do not quit on them.

Jaylyn Sherrod played probably the best game of her young career.

The wins will come. Stanford has to visit Boulder in February. The game will be played the same day the 25 year anniversary of the winningest team in Colorado women's basketball history will be honored. I hope this team, the current team, shows that team they have the same kind of will, fight and determination.

Never say never and do not give up on this team or these players. They have not given up and will not give up.

This team appears to have a different team psyche than team of the last 10 years or so. They BELIEVE in themselves and each other.

Definitely not the year to give up on this team!!

Now to give a little stampede to the Boregan teams.
 
It was not pretty, but it was a win!

Some strange foul calls and non-calls but we didn't end up losing players to fouls.

Sherrod gets better every game and Knight was key down the stretch. We really missed Aubrey the last two seasons when she was injured. We just didn't know how much.

The Buffs have now won more games in the Pac12 than they did last season and there's a ways to go.

JR will do her best to get the team ready for the Oregon teams. It's very difficult for any team to play 5 Mc Donald All Americans who are being replaced by 5 McDonald All Americans, but the games still have to be played.
 
good win. I do not care how they win this year. This program needs a good year and they are having one so far. two road wins in the Pac 12 is such a step forward for this team. Do not expect much this weekend but still impressed and hopeful about this team
 
Buffs actually still top 50 RPI. The p12 is brutal as always, but continuing to win the games against the bottom tier should get us easily into WNIT. Flip the script on that UCLA and Stanford game a couple times down the stretch, this team could really surprise and sneak in to the real deal. I'm not counting those chickens, but it's nice that a legit conversation about it still exists.

QUOTES
Head Coach JR Payne
Overall thoughts
"i think we proved day in day out that we're very resilient group. I knew that we would be able to bounce back after Stanford because that's sort of who we are. I appreciate that we were able to flush a major disappointment [loss at Stanord] in less than 48 hours. I thought we played a pretty good basketball game. It was wonderful to have Charlotte back. I thought Sila [Finau] played tremendously this weekend, looking to be aggressive and scoring the ball. We definitely need her to continue to do that. And then our rebounding numbers were fantastic."

On the third quarter
"We pretty much just talk about everything. We don't try to play mind tricks. We say, listen, 'we haven't had good third quarters we got to fix it. What are we going to do about it?' so we've been very intentional as a staff about trying to address it and come up with some strategies to do better and I think we have. I think our team likes that directness and it's shown that it's improving."
