WBB: #21 Colorado hosts Oregon (1:30pm)

[Buffnik]

No television for this one.

You can listen on 760 AM.

Also, since it's not televised, you can watch the live stream online even if you don't have a subscription: http://pac-12.com/live/cubuffs.aspx

Buffs come in at 17-5 (6-5) and looking to push for the 4th seed in the Pac-12 tourney by running the table for our last 7 conference games.

Ducks are young and struggling this year at 3-20 (1-10), but beat us at home last year. They can be dangerous if you allow them to get out and run with that offense HC Paul Westhead is known for.

Also an opportunity for the Buffs to move up in the polls this week. #13 Purdue already lost at home to Michigan, #8 Penn State is struggling at home against a dangerous Michigan State squad, #20 Delaware is in a battle at a decent JMU team, and #9 Georgia is down at LSU 25-31 at the half. Could be some shakeups in the Top 25 tomorrow. (Also, Illinois is playing a big game for our RPI at home against a pretty good Minnesota team.)

Really playing flat today. Very sloppy on offense.

Up 23-22 with 8 minutes left in the 1st half.

After the Ducks tied it at 25 at the 7 minute mark, Buffs have gone on a nice run to pull ahead 33-25 with 4:55 left in the half. Buffs shooting 2 after the break.

 

[Buffnik]

Close the half an 18-6 run to lead 43-31 at the break.

 

[Buffnik]

Taking care of business. Up by 20, 69-49, with 8:19 to play.

 

[Buffnik]

Small run to go up by 25, 76-51, with 4:50 left.

Taking care of business, and holy **** Oregon is bad..falling to 3-21 (1-11)

 

[Buffnik]

84-59 Final.

Buffs are 18-5 (7-5).

Chucky: 15 pts, 15 rebs, 3 asts, 1 stl
B-Wil: 16, 1, 3, 1
Lexy: 12, 4, 3, 2 + 1 block
Hargis: 10, 4, 3, 3, 2
Ari: 7, 4, 0, 3, 1
Reese: 8, 2, 0, 1, 1
Sborov: 8, 1, 4, 2, 1
Swan: 6, 4, 0, 1, 0

A-Wil added an assist, 2 steals and 2 rebounds. Ky chipped in with 2 rebounds and an assist. Atchley even scored 2 pts today.

Completely dominating effort on the scoreboard and all team stats. Deep team that just overwhelmed Oregon today.

This upcoming road trip to the Arizona schools is huge. Win them and we're in great position for the home game that follows against Washington.

I don't CU was at their best this weekend, but they were definitely better than the opposition.

Today CU scored 36 points in the paint and 33 from beyond the arc (10-20 on treys).

Chucky almost had a double-double in the first half (12 points and 9 rebounds).

Agreed that the Arizona game are huge. I would think ASU will give CU a tougher go of it than Arizona.

Coach Barry upgraded me to courtside for this game. Almost had Chucky in my lap at one point.

One of the Oregon players knocked A Wil in her broken nose and it sure looked like it hurt. I don't think she came back in the game, but by then, she wasn't needed.

Loved when Atchley got her bucket and the bench erupted in cheers!

Coach Jonas said in the club room that if the team stayed disciplined and didn't try to race with Oregon, they would win. At times, they did do that in the first half. That is when Oregon was hanging around.

MPP's shoulder is injured and she was not available to play.
