Official Buffs Dance Resume Thread

So, as horrible as Stanford looked against us, they're now 2-1 in the Pac with wins over Utah and @ Oregon State.

The Beavs are going to be inconsistent this year, methinks. Capable of looking excellent (like they did in killing Oregon) and capable of some pretty poor showings. I guess that's what happens when you've been a disaster of a program for 25 years.

I think a Stanford win is going to vault them into the Top 50 after tonight. That's very, very good for the Buffs.
 
Thursday:

#15 SMU (13-0, 2-0) vs Cincinnati (11-4, 1-1): This will be one of SMU's tougher tests of conference play. Cincinnati is what you think they are: very good on D (allowing under 62 ppg) and crashing the boards. SMU favored by 7

Omaha (10-6, 2-0) @ North Dakota State (11-4, 1-0): This would be a big road win for Omaha in the Summit League pecking order. As far as I can tell, it looks like South Dakota State is probably the best team, with Omaha, NDSU and IPFW all also very solid and potential challengers for the Dance ticket. NDSU favored by 5

Northern Colorado (4-10, 1-1) @ Idaho State (5-8, 0-1): Bears have a realistic shot at getting their first road win of the season in this one. Idaho State is a fellow Big Sky cellar dweller. Idaho State favored by 3.5

#7 Arizona (13-1, 1-0) @ UCLA (9-6, 0-2): This should be interesting. Just when it looked like UCLA had figured things out by putting their poor start behind them and posting wins over North Carolina and Gonzaga, they've now started Pac play 0-2 on the most favorable road swing the Pac has on tap this season. Can UCLA bail themselves out with another huge win? Wildcats favored by 2.5

Arizona State (10-4, 0-1) @ USC (12-3, 1-1): Presumably a key game for the middle of the Pac standings. It'll be interesting to see how both of these teams respond. USC blew a 22 point second half lead to lose at Washington, while Bobby Hurley went ape**** and got tossed in the Sun Devil's home loss to Arizona. Trojans favored by 6.5

BYU (10-5, 1-1) vs Santa Clara (5-11, 1-3): Cougars should roll. Santa Clara is in the bottom 2-3 of the WCC. BYU favored by 13.5
 
Alford is nails.

I think that's going to end up being a good result for CU in regard to conference standings. Also brings UCLA back closer to the Top 50 (#62), which they really needed.

Really, though, what this just emphasizes is that winning on the road in the Pac-12 is a bitch.
 
BYU romped over Santa Clara, 97-61. Cougs now 11-5 (2-1). Home against San Francisco before a big trip to Gonzaga. BYU really needs a marquee win.
 
Friday: All eyes on CU

Buffs (12-3, 1-1) vs Utah (11-4, 0-2): It might be early in the Pac12 season, but this one will likely have some big ramifications. It's become quite clear that holding home court is crucial, especially with Arizona and Cal still to visit the Keg. Dropping Utah into an early 0-3 hole would be huge in the battle for a top 4 spot. Utah also has an RPI of 28 and thus this would be a much needed quality win to add to the resume. All eyes will be on Scott vs Poeltl. Live RPI gives the Buffs a 61% chance of victory. Buffs are favored by 1.5

Nail on the head CVille. Tad needs to show the team film of the game in Boulder last year for a reminder of how bad the Utes beat the Buffs.
 
unless something changes, I see the game like this: their bigs v our bigs = wash. Their (bad) guards against our guards: wash. This leaves the game up to depth, home court advantage, and the wings. I like our wings over theirs overall. Advantage CU.

Please tell me how wrong that is.

J40 will be superior. XT will dominate.

You are wrong Darth.

Poeltl is better than Josh. Josh has a tendency to not bring his A game against guys who are bigger than him (see: Cal). He needs to bring it tonight because Poeltl is a potential All-American. If he does, and our perimeter D steps up, we should win. If not, it could be an ugly night.

He did say big(s). A bigger key may be how Wes handles Kuzma. If Wes can take him out of the game like Cal did, it may be a wash.
