MBB GAME THREAD - CU @ Washington | Feb. 23rd @ 8:30pm | Pac 12 Net

[ZandiBuff]

Games like tonight show you why games like Wednesday are way more important ant than "one game"

This team deserves no post season.

Tad did not deserve an extension nor a raise

 

[torero]

Name a player in CUs starting 5 that is a + defender.

Tyler Bey. That wasn’t a hard question. I’m pretty sure a healthy McKinley Wright is too, but he’s not there right now.

 

[RollTad21]

Thybulle is great, but I can't help to think that if anyone on CU swiped at that many balls they would foul out in 5 minutes. Unless it was Battey. Then it would be faster. I guess he has earned it. He's the best player in the conference.

 

[Lightning]

Bey, but not consistantly. Side notes- announcer said 2500 students and sell out crowd. Unrealistic to think we'd beat them on home court, they are too talented, senior dominated, too deep. Who knows though if we dont allow them to go on a run in mid 2nd half.

I'd buy that if he played every game

He doesn't

No one else on Tad"s "defense and rebounding" teams play defense. Or rebounds.

Maybe we should concentrate on offense, since defense and rebounding really isn't our game

I really don’t know what game you were watching? Washington is clearly the best team in the conference, held them to 42% shooting and outrebounded them by 14.

But we turned the ball over 19 times.

We played well enough defensively to be in that game. That was our worst offensive game since the Arizona road trip.

40% is Tad"s magic number. WA isn't a great offensive team. 42% > 40%

Rebounds only matter when they turn into points. How many points did we have I. Transition?

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

That is the best defensive team in the conference and we lost by 9. On their home floor. While turning the ball over 19 times. That was a gutsy, gritty performance.

UW does way worse to just about every team in the conference.

 

[ZandiBuff]

I had no expectations of winning tonight. Butosibg both games is unacceptable

Complete waste of all the momentum of the win streak.

Keep moving those goal posts.

-“nobody rebounds”
-we won the rebound battle by 14
-“rebounds only matter when you score”

When you have to put the quote I "said" in "quotations" because I didn't actually say it, well...


This team is soft.
This team has NO OFFENSIVE IDENTIFY
This team can get hot and beat some teams
This team will not go anywhere In 5he post season

 

[Scotch]

The rebound numbers are a bit surprising. 39-27 Buffs. Also, only 25 total free throws in the game. I thought Washington would have had at least that on their own.

Are you as negative about life as you are CU basketball?

I swear the box score I was looking at said 44-30. This number is correct.

 

[ZandiBuff]

Nope.

Just tired of all the "Tad is the Saint of CU bball and nothing can ever be better"

Are you happy with 7th place in the ****tiest pac-12 since we joined the conference?

I'm not

 

[ZandiBuff]

I swear the box score I was looking at said 44-30. This number is correct.

So, maybe rebounding and defense doesn't win games?

Perhaps we should try playing offense on occasion

Really? REALLY? Give me a ****ing break.

Take that L.

Rebounding and defense does win games consistently. To beat the best teams, which Washington clearly is in this conference and it’s not close, you have to play well in all facets of the game. Buffs played poorly offensively tonight.

Your Schtick is tiring.

 

[ZandiBuff]

I guess half the quote was off.

We sure played some mean defense

42% from the field / 40% fro. 3

3 vs 9 blocks

8 VS 12 steals

Guess you forgot the other half of the post

Anyone’s defending Tad Boyle is what’s really tiring. He should be gone; instead he gets a raise and an extension for consistently being mediocre. Too bad that’s considered success by Rick George.

 

[DBT]

Nope.

Just tired of all the "Tad is the Saint of CU bball and nothing can ever be better"

I'm not

Not happpy but also see a team with several young guys getting a lot of PT and personnel losses that really hurt. This has been a pretty unlucky season in my opinion.

45% field
52% 3s
5 VS 2 blocks

Total defensive domination

Wait, those were the numbers against the 9th ranked team in the league.

At least we held a total 2 rebounding advantage.

Who won both of those games again?

Someone call the waaaaambulance.
Recruiting failures result in young teams in year 9 of a coaching tenure.
Everyone cruicifies MM and even some even MT but somehow TB gets a complete pass for recruiting **** for bigs and PGs

I never said we dominated defensively. I said we played well enough defensively. But you say I’m the one making up quotes.

Anyone interested in having a good faith discussion about basketball? Because I’m done with this one.

Pretty clearly you don’t like Tad. I’m seeing the young guys getting valuable experience and think it will pay dividends.

Guess your excited by 1 NCAA appearance every 5 or 6 years

It's not just this game.

Keep up the "Tad is great" defense

It's working about as well as the teams defense is

Explain '9th ranked team in the league' please. Cause I take that to mean 9th place which is Oregon right now.

A young team taking their lumps for sure.

My bad, I mis read and over rated the team we LOST to and for which those stats were relevant to.

The tied for 11th place WSU cougars, whom, we just lost to, with the given "defensive" stats
