Lackluster homestand? They won both games without their best player and perhaps had their best rebounding performance of the year, while missing the same player who happens to average 10 a game.

Wazzu is easily the worst team in the PAC and we won on a prayer.....Utah beat that same team by 40.....decent win over UW but they usually fall apart this part of the season. UCLA's back is against the wall....and USC is simply more talented than the Buffs... Wont win in Utah...prolly lose to AZ..... We shall see..
We WON both without Josh Scott, our best player and potentially the best big man in the country. If you expected those games to be anything but close, you were lying to yourself.
We should beat Wazzu going away without JS. We played really badly. The turnover machine has got to stop. It's killing us and will kill us during tournament time.

I like your thinking.
Be smart on how Fortune gets his touches, dude turns the ball over way too much.

It seemed to me that we really missed JS against WSU but Gordon really stepped it up and took charge against UW, pretty much taking responsibility for Josh's absence against a good opponent. Whether he continues at that level of performance when Josh is back remains to be seen, but it does suggest Wes will take up much of the 'slack' when Josh graduates.

Reason be damned, I am sticking with my optimism. Buffs sweep. Feel free to blast me if I am wrong at any point during or after the game tonight.
only tini's particularly awful brand of optimism gets blasted.
That's the say I look at it.

I am prepared for it though, bought a nice bottle of balvenie caribbean cask to celebrate (or whatever activity has to occur).
Didn't we out rebound WSU, like, 2 to 1?
My bad. Maybe I'm thinking of the Washington game.
They should have won going away against Wash St. They took their foot off the gas and Wash St. got back in it. And we were up 15 with 8 to go against Wash.

Have we even lost to USC since we joined the Pac?
This year's USC is just conpletely different. We've been facing USC teams that were fighting to finish 11th in the Pac. This year they're fighting for a top 4 bye and are currently seen as a 6-7 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Hell, they might even be drawing over 2,000 at the Galen Center. If we go into turnover mode we will get buried. It's going to take our best performance of the season to win, but damn it would be so valuable for our chances of a bye and our NCAAT resume.

I'm going with a sweep. It doesn't make much sense to me but I've got a good feeling and think we might be underestimating our Buffs a bit.
UCLA is the easier game on paper. I know USC is not the same old USC but I think they are getting a bit more credit than they deserve. Outside of Arizona (a great win but not what it has been in the past) their best RPI win is Monmouth at home (who they lost to on the road).
Just saying, I'm drinking the kool-aid. Let's go Buffs.
