It really can't be understated how poor we played last year. Shot only 36% from the field and 44% from the charity stripe. That isn't going to happen again. They played tough, but in the end it was more about us losing the game than it was them winning it. We should be able to dominate the boards as well. To summarize: much better Buff shooting from field and ft + home court advantage + big edge on the boards + CSU new coach = CU win.
Just got my PAC-12 title game DVD in the mail. Great reliving that day :thumbsup:
If any of you are interested in getting your hands on a copy of the game just email Mike Bohn, he sent me mine for free

My bet is Booker to carry the scoring early in the season.
Mayor + Jenkins will keep us going just fine. I think ski doesn't start for long, if at all.
don't forget about X
I'm not. But I've called my shot with Jenkins (and, to a smaller degree, the Mayor). I think those 2 are gonna be huge this year. XJ may have all the athleticism in the world, but I have a feeling he is gonna struggle early before upping his skill level to where it needs to be.
This. He X will be important, but won't be our go to scorer. Dre will get his points, but if we need a bucket, we will try to get spence or Jenkins an open look. Ski will be able to score for us, but not in the "get him open and get him the ball" sort of way. He creates with the flow of the game, but can be contained in crucial possessions due to his size when the other team really needs a stop.
Ski is a guy who can put a lot of points on the board in a short time. He also has some limitations compared to what we think we have in some of the other guys including the incoming freshman.
Last season at times we seemed to have big problems scoring when the second unit was on the floor. Does Ski take a role providing instant offense off the bench to help keep the pressure on when the starters are catching a breather.

Ski will continue to surprise.
I'll say what I said before last season (when I'm sure some thought I was taking crazy pills while referring to this skinny kid who was too short for the position). Ski has a chance at being our leading scorer this year and will be our leading scorer in a number of games.

until I see a little better defense from ski, I agree with keeping him in the spark plug role. He was very effective there this year. Given that the freshman come in and perform as expected I think out starting 5 is set. I am thankful that we are taking that euro trip with the big group of new comers this year, should be hugely effective. I cant wait for november, and I cant wait to shut these rams up for a while.
Without looking back, didn't he lead us in scoring a time or two last season? Or at least was very very close with 20+. I am not trying to downplay him for next year by any means. He is a straight baller, but when it comes to getting a needed bucket, I don't see him as our go to option. If he ends up with the ball at the end of the possession (shot clock constraint), I will be comfortable with his ability to get a floater or jumpshot up, but it won't be the shot I or the coaches would necessarily want.
If this doesn't make sense to someone, please let me know and I can try to explain better. I'm smarter than you at bball, so it's cool if you don't get it.
I'm making a different point.
I've already said that I don't know who to pencil in as the go-to guy at the end of games. I don't think Ski is that guy. You can't mark him for it consistently like you could Cory, Alec or Carlon.
How I see him... and I do recognize that my basketball knowledge goes much deeper than yours so you may need to check youtube, basketball-reference and wikipedia to respond... is a Joe Dumars type who is most valuable in a 6th man role to come in, give the team a shot of adrenaline, hopefully be hot so he scores in bunches, and only sometimes is having one of those nights where he's the main option through the final minutes.
But, given what we have, Ski will likely get starter's minutes and could very well lead the team in scoring this year even if I don't think he's a guy who is going to have a favorable matchup every night and will struggle against some teams in crunch time.
He'll learn that. He didn't have the problem of getting blocked like that in high school ball so he had to adjust. He will learn to use quick lateral movement to position his shot at a point where the slower shot-blockers don't have their feet under them to get off the ground as fast. Combination of pull up jumpers and slight hesitations.
I'll take Joe De Ciman against any of your recruits

30pts, 13 reb, 6 assists a game

You'll have to.
Not this year
:lol: boy you are some kinda stupid... did slider take all the nutrients away from you in the womb?
What's so stupid about what I said? We don't need Ciman this year, you guys NEED your recruits to perform. And even if we did need him, I'll still take him over your recruits

I hear the competition sure is tough in Saskatchewan :rofl: Is this guy ****ing serious? He has to be joking..
btbuff
It's an inside joke
This part is true. I have confidence they will, history says there might be some growing pains. The rest of your comment is clueless gibberish.
Because southern Colorado has top tier competition too?
It seems pretty obvious from the highlights he has the talent and that skill will translate.

It's pretty obvious that the competition in Saskatchewan is astoundingly weak. It's also pretty obvious that your recruiting class can't even come close to being in the same league as ours, no matter how much delusional/jealous fanboys like you try and bend reality. Congrats on the commitment though, it must boost your confidence to realize you can occasionally beat out WAC teams for players.
So, how did your guy do against AAU competition?
We already went over this multiple times. Our 0* have done a nice job beating up on your 3* lately
