It's SENIOR Day for Lucas Siewert and Shane Gatling tomorrow (Saturday) as the Buffs (21-6, 10-4) finish the home portion of their season and try to stay atop the Pac 12 standings against a surging Bruin team (16-11, 9-5, 4 wins in a row and 8-2 in their last 10). GREAT the game is already a sell out!

CBS is scheduled for the live coverage. (Per Pat Rooney on his weekly Buffzone Q & A (https://www.buffzone.com/2020/02/21/live-chat-pat-rooney-discusses-cu-buffs-athletics/)- for the Buffs "It's their first game ever on the CBS national Saturday broadcast.".)

GO BUFFS- Beat ucla!!!

Apparently the game is sold out. We might still try to head up and buy from a scalper or something.

Go Buffs, beat the Hell out of UCLA.

Lucas’ basketball journey has been amazing. He left home in Brazil at 15 years old and came to the US to pursue his basketball career. He didn’t speak a word of English. His dad brought him here, dropped him off then went back home.

He was an ASU recruit but opened up his recruiting when ASU made a coaching change. Tad wasn’t sold on his game, a big who mainly was an outside shooter. Thank God Tad gave him a chance. What a great career.
 
How come we don't predict the winner and score like we do in football? Lets see if anyone can nail it.

Preview (by Neil Woelk) for today's game - https://cubuffs.com/news/2020/2/21/...tle-with-bruins-in-saturdays-home-finale.aspx

BOULDER — Rather quietly, the UCLA Bruins have been playing as well as anyone in the Pac-12 over the last month, winning six of their last seven and eight of their last 10 games.

But they won't be sneaking up on Tad Boyle's Pac-12 leading Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday — and it definitely won't be a quiet environment. Colorado is expecting its largest CU Events Center crowd of the season for Saturday's 2 p.m. home finale that will pit No. 18/17 Colorado (21-6 overall, 10-4 Pac-12) against the surging Bruins (16-11, 9-5).

The game will be the first-ever CU men's game in Boulder to be televised by CBS.

Boyle certainly hasn't had a problem getting his team's attention when it comes to UCLA. In their Jan. 30 meeting in Los Angeles, the Buffs dropped a 72-68 decision that saw the Bruins take a 12-point lead at the half, then fight off a CU rally down the stretch. The Bruins dominated the Buffs on the boards in the game, 39-29, while also getting a career-high 30 points from 6-foot-9 guard Chris Smith.

"They've turned a corner," Boyle said. "You can just see it in their film. We saw it in L.A. the way they guarded. They've got an identity about themselves defensively now that they didn't have in November, December. And they've got talented players."

Indeed, the Bruins have come a long way in their first year under head coach Mick Cronin. The team that lost to Hofstra, BYU and Cal State Fullerton in non-conference play — then lost three of its first four Pac-12 games — has no doubt turned the corner. The win over Colorado was the beginning of a stretch that has seen them win six of seven, with the only loss a narrow defeat at Arizona State.

The Bruins aren't near the top of the Pac-12 in either scoring or defense, as they are seventh in both categories — scoring at a 67.43 points-per-game clip and allowing exactly that same amount.

But they are making a solid living on the boards, averaging 34.93 rebounds per game and giving up just 30.93 per game — the best in the league.

"The rebounding battle is going to be the key," Boyle said. " We've got to compete on the glass, and they punked us on the glass in L.A."

Along with Smith, who is averaging 15.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in Pac-12 play, UCLA has a bruiser up front in 6-10, 245-pound sophomore forward Jalen Hill (9.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg) and a quality point guard in freshman Tyger Campbell (4.4 assists per game).
...

Saturday will also be Senior Day for the Buffs, and they will honor Lucas Siewert and Shane Gatling in their last game at the Events Center.

"It's going to be a show and we want it bad," Wright said. "We let one slip away in L.A. and that's one we need back so, we'll be ready."

TIPOFF: Saturday's game is set to begin at 2 p.m. at the CU Events Center.

THE SERIES: UCLA holds an all-time 12-6 lead in the series, but the Buffs had won four in a row before the Bruins snapped the streak with their win in late January. Colorado has a 4-3 edge in Boulder, including wins in the last two.

BROADCAST: The game will be televised by CBS with Brad Nessler and Dan Bonner. The radio broadcast will be carried by 760 AM KDSP with Voice of the Buffs Mark Johnson and Scott Wilke.

UP NEXT: CU then closes the regular season with three straight road games, beginning with a pair next week in the Bay Area. Colorado plays at Cal on Thursday, Feb. 27 (7 p.m., MT), then heads to Stanford on Sunday, March 1 (4 p.m. MT). The Buffs wrap up the regular season with a 12:30 p.m. game March 7 at Utah.

You want someone to meet you at the courthouse, soon, and you're asking for $20; did you have enough fun last night to justify whatever sort of trouble you've got yourself into?

Mark Johnson mentioned it during the pregame just now. Hasn't been keeping food down, on IV's, questionable for today's game.

Hopefully he's at least on the floor for the tipoff.
 
If you’re not here by now, good luck making it in before the 12 minute tv timeout. Boulder PD and parking services doing their best to the clusterf*ck the whole thing up as usual. We are so small time.
