they had mentioned he had a sleeve on his Elbow...but im pretty sure he's had that all year long
It does cross my mind. He was so bullet proof. If it's a girlfriend.... Punt her.
I was thinking this same thing. Does some crazy snatch have this kid's head all ****ed up?

Bingo. Risk you have to take
Every team knows that. Even the color guy did.
There was no one open. Everyone stood and watched rather than setting a screen or spreading out to split up the defense. He had no one to pass to until her was pulling up for the shot, but that was Wes on the other side and there was still a long defender between them, so it wouldn't have been an easy pass and with 2 seconds left, very dangerous of not even getting a shot off. Y'all blaming Ski are silly. Blame Tad if you want to put this loss strictly on the last play of the game.
So you design a play through Booker. Booker had nothing
That's fine, but that's different than your original post. GW is a good team and the result was about what Vegas and kenpom predicted. We are much better than the CBI baring injury. We are likely an NIT squad, but we are not a CBI squad

Five turnover and a blocked shot in the last 6:30 didn't help. They had a five point lead at the time and should have put it away. The turnovers would have been much worse if some of those bounce passes to big guys in traffic didn't get deflected by GW.
Just awful.
Five "point guards" on the team and the only one who can play the position is the freshman.

This was the last realistic chance of making the Dance. Now it's a pipe dream based on an incredible run that has to include a couple wins over Arizona, Utah and Washington. We just aren't good enough unless we catch lightning in a bottle and witness a night and day change.
I think this is good for us. We were the Cinderella story before. I wasn't expecting such a disappointing season.
But Boyle is the man who can lead us out of this. I'll be we finish 8-10th in the Pac 12 this year. And coach Boyle will then make our players see they just can't go through the motions. Our coaching staff will also feel some pressure too. We've got a packed house at Coors. We need to keep all the momentum. We either continue to slide or Boyle takes the lead and gets us back to conference title contention next year or year after. I think he can do it.

Ok back to the task at hand. We are very likely playing Hawaii next game. They will play tough D, and we will likely not get a bunch of calls. If any.
If our flickering tourney hopes remain alive, we need to win this game. Just suck it up, play hard and focused. GW just another loss at this point.

I disagree. Cinderellas make noise in the dance, and we haven't done that despite having lots of talent that has ended up in the league.
I know it's sacrilege to say around here, but I'm really starting to question Tad's ability to get the most out of his teams. I haven't watched today's game yet, but it sounds like more of the same.

For those of the that didn't watch the game. The other four guys on our team didn't move for the last 9 seconds our so. So the image may as well be a video.
That's something some of us have been talking about for a few weeks now at the dark horse before games and sitting in the stands at the games. It is concerning. One and done might be his peak.
That's coaching...not Ski's fault they stood around. Ski has also done a great job assisting players this year so they should know that moving and getting in position to score can be rewarding.

Hawaii is going to be a hellish game

We've forgotten what it's like, care to remind us since you were there more recently than CU?
So damn frustrating. If things go as expected the rest of the year, they will pull up our resume and be say "looking here Colorado has new bad losses, however they are completely devoid of any good wins"
We will be a meh. Not good, not bad, just meh.
This looks to be the first disappointing year in the Tad Boyle era.

That's it. After Dinwiddie getting all farked up over a woman last year, that's it.
NO MORE GIRLFRIENDS FOR CU MENS BASKETBALL PLAYERS ... at least until their eligibility is up.
Well, glad I had to finish my shopping. One thing I can't stand is watching guys standing around watching in basketball. That's why I like when we get out and run. I didn't see so I don't know what kind of game it was.

I'm starting to calm down a bit. If we had shot free throws at our normal rate and GW didn't get all those long rebounds, we would have won, perhaps comfortably.
I don't think Tad Boyle is a problem in game or in keeping the team together, but I do see a problem with recruiting. Not that he can't get good players, he clearly can, but he's just not getting the right ones. With the exception of Dom, we don't have a guard who is a natural fit at either position. We've all been complaining about not having a shooter since Knutson graduated. How do you have a major college team without a shooter. You look at a team like Wisconsin where shooting is a recruiting priority. All the rotation players can shoot. Tad seems to do OK with big guys, but enough of these "combo" guards. Get some guys who can shoot.

Yep. You need a set play with a couple of options. Guys cutting across the key, drawing defenders. You can't let Ski just go one on two. That's impossible.
Seems like Tad prides himself in taking less heralded guys and developing them. Several guys seem to have hit a ceiling. Or maybe the sophs have hit a collective sophomore slump.
