Final score was 65-54. That looks so much closer than it was.

 

[Daaah]

Well, hopefully the buffs can have a better showing. That was ****ing brutal. I wanted Cal to lose, but not like that. Ouch.

yes consider it was 61 - 31 or something like that at one point.

Cal has some butt ugly cheerleaders.

But they are smart.

I have to admit, I find it entertaining when a fanbase goes on suicide watch. That probably makes me a horrible person.

 

[Orangebuff]

not to be a debbie downer but watching this game worries me how CU will do against UNLV.

South Florida plays in the Big East. Pac 12 teams just don't match up with any Big East teams.

Hey lay off. Thats my great great great great grandma twice removed or some ****.

Not this year, for sure.

I grew up on Big East basketball and love it. Lots of talent and toughness along with a bunch of different coaching styles. Big East teams get battle tested like no other conference. I think that also wears some of them down by the time the NCAAs roll around, though. I also think it was a mistake to add so many teams in order to maintain the equal balance between basketball-only and basketball/football members.

CSU up early

 

[torero]

Vern just said there are 4 Nebraskans on CSU. **** them even more.

 

[tante]

anyone have an audio stream of the game? I can't find it anywhere and don't want to eat up the bandwidth from a video stream.

 

[Buffnik]

CSU runs that pack line defense that can drive teams crazy. You've got to be able to catch and shoot, be willing to make the extra pass, and be able to attack from the wing. Most offenses aren't patient enough to play well against it.

Those two schools are like some hillbilly family where the cousins and siblings are interbreeding with each other.

Murray State takes the lead

 

[Buffnik]

Murray State starting to figure it out finally after trying to attack straight ahead with a PG or drive from the baseline the first 5 minutes or so.

 

[GoBuffs08]

Let the boat race begin. I hope lamb loses by 25. Screw them and their 17 fans.

 

[BuffNut99]

This online pass is pretty sweet... "Boss Button" lol

 

[Jello Bear]

Nice post play by #2 (Murray State's Fletch).

 

[Darian3Hagan]

Go Racers!

 

[CUBUFF80]

Lammies wearing some seriously ugly shoes

 

[CVilleBuff]

Go Racers, get these ****s out of the Dance

What else is new? They wear some seriously fugly everything.

 

[BuffNut99]

I see that the CSU AD sent all five members of the D-Unit (D as in derp)

 

[tante]

CSU is playing pretty well. Can't believe Hornung has 11 rebounds already. Roberson would have 20 by now.

One of his rebounds was a blatant goaltend.

 

[dio]

This is a good matchup for CSU

 

[CVilleBuff]

Being an "underdog" facing a team from the Ohio Valley Conference is a good deal in the first round. Playing in Louisville is unappealing, but Murray State was the top of my "wish list" for who CU could draw heading into Selection Sunday.

 

[Goose]

This is a good matchup for CSU

Very.

 

[Alfred91]

CSU looks like the better fundamental team, really.

Murray St is going to have to depend on athleticism, and surprisingly, they're not that much more athletic.

I think whoever wins this game is going to get rolled by Marquette.
