Where was this against Stanford haha?
Team looked all around great today, good to see. Now it's time to root for Oregon State.

Great game, great crowd, great day. That is what big time basketball feels like. I cant wait to watch this thing grow in Boulder. Sweep the Oregon trip and we will be sitting pretty in the tourney

It's an inside joke
I would rather just win the conference tourney. We can beat anybody in this conference except stanford. Stanford could very well lose in their first matchup, but would have to get to the title game to place us if we maintain the #4 seed. Idk what our RPI would look like, but the ideal situation would be Oregon wins tonight moving them up to a top 50 ranking and we beat them thursday, Giving us 4 top 50 wins. That has to be good for our RPI right?
Listening to the OU OSU game... How do you yell BEAVERS!! on the radio and not die laughing?

It would pretty good. I don't want to leave it up to the selection committee, but it would be hard for them to keep us out if we sweep the Oregon trip and get to the title game. Beating Cal today was huge for our confidence and our chances.
I honestly dont fear anyone in the pac 12 except for Stanford.
Going into today our RPI was 84 and Cal's was 35 so this win should move us back into the 70's and 2 conference road wins would certainly help even though neither team is that good.

After today, and with two road wins to finish, I'd say in the 50's, which makes the Buffs a bubble team.
UCLA worries me more than Stanford. Stanford's frontcourt depth creates some match-up problems, but we also put in our worst conference performance of the year on Thursday. With a better defensive effort, that game's a lot closer.

Just hope Stanford plays Utah before us

Our RPI is 75th right now. So today's win got us back to where we were before the loss to Stanford. It's a moot point, though, because we're not getting an at-large bid.
You are right, it would take some serious help from quite a few bubble teams to get us back in the discussion. By sweeping the oregon schools, and winning a few in the tournament, we may be able to grab another #1 seed in the NIT. Not the NCAA I know, but much better than being a low seed in the NIT
There are a lot of players who deserve praise for today, but I gotta give a huge shout-out to Simba. I don't know if it's the mask, having the CU Express all wearing his jersey or just finally feeling confident again, but dude was great today. The hooks looked solid and the jumper actually looked good.
If Simba can just play like he did today next season, we're going to be a lot more dangerous than everyone thinks.

Channelling his inner Mosgov.
I believe Mark Johnson said he was channeling his inner Kareem with that sky hook he kept using.

I agree with everyone who has said this before but Nate, Austin, and Simba all played excellent. With the exception of rebounding Simba played his best game. Simba even had a 15 foot jumper that I swore was going in. It was a good enough shot that if he was to take it another game I would certainly not complain.
Austin took a couple threes but his other shots were all going to the basket. He was not willing to settle for the jump shot. Even though the shot clock was running down, he was still attacking. It was really nice to see.

Those jump hooks were AWESOME!

I loved it when the TV announcers said "this is what a college atmosphere should be."
Only because of Dinwiddie.
