Well this is a nice performance.

This teams scores pattern is crazy. Every Pac 12 win a total blow out, and two really lackluster losses.
But I think before the season any of us would take where we are.

This is shaping up to be a special end to the season. Loveridge was outstanding tonight and Taylor is a freaking bulldog. So much fun to watch! I am a spoiled 1998 grad that loved the Majerus years .Originally Posted by SeattleUte
I love this team just as much as those teams.
Go Utes!
Interesting that Dakari Tucker started the 2nd half when Delon cramped. Wonder if Taylor will be the point guard next year, Dakari the 2, with isiah Wright the 6th man.
That was a great spurt at the start of the second without Delon...
18-4 against the spread as well.

Got back from Boulder about an hour ago. A good time was had by me.
I've ripped Jordan for road play so I better praise when it's deserved. What a terrific game for him - 11 points and 10 rebounds. Really solid. How about Kuzma? Where did that effort come from. It would be terrific to have him fill up a stat sheet like that on a consistent basis. Good win. I hoped that this team would play .500 on the road in the Pac-12. This puts them on the road to finish above that with splits so far and now the win in Boulder. It's a lot to ask to get two let alone three of their remaining four road games but if they keep defending like this I think they will get two or three.
Agreed on both accounts. Regarding Kuzma, I'm hopeful he will improve between-the-ears. He has the physical tools, but he just seems lost all the time; and, his defense sucks.
Oh, Chapman needs to get tougher on D. Just because you are skinny that doesn't mean you can't be tough and go banging. He picks up way too many ticky-tack fouls by reaching-in, standing straight-up but lowering his arms, and going for half-hearted blocks. Either jump hard for the block or standing tall/tough to take charges. The coaching staff teaches standing tall/tough -- then let's do that.

I missed the game because the eastern time zone sucks. What is the hype about Kuze? Did he have a good game? Also, sancho, we need an in house report.
Athletecism coming out his ears. Likes to shoot and is pretty good at it. Doesn't know where to stand when he is on he floor.
Time to start looking for law firms in the west. I'm sure Denver could use another lawyer.
Kuze got more minutes than usual since Chapman was under the weather. He did more or less what you would expect him to do - played with energy, scored, dunked the ball, airballed an open three pointer, hit two other threes, grabbed some rebounds. Only turned it over once. It was fun to watch him. I think as long as we don't expect him to turn into some kind of polished machine, we can enjoy him doing good things for us for years.
In house report? I like the Buffs' place. I was able to get tickets pretty cheap, but I was on a bleacher seat with no back. I had friendly interaction with the CU fans around me. I told them I was there last year when they beat us, and they seemed to think it was fair that I get a win this time. For a team that is struggling, they had a good sized crowd. We didn't really give the crowd much of a chance to get into the game, but they did get loud when CU cut the lead to 6 in the first half. They were on their feet, and there was some energy. The best moment for the home fans, though, was when Scott checked in for the first time. A nice, loud ovation for him. Brandon Taylor's three as the clock expired in the first half completely drained the life out of the crowd. There was some hope in the building until that shot went through. A 12 point lead just seemed much bigger than a 9. And then we started the 2nd half with 3-3-3, and it was 21 points and game over.
Larry K wore his red blazer. We had our trademark 5 minute scoring drought in the first half.
Thinking about the subject of basketball IQ, I came across this piece about Andrew Bogut:

Is there any rhyme or reason to the red blazer? Is it like that old weatherman Bob Eubank's white jacket, where it meant snow was on the way (or he was heading to the temple)? I think Larry should only wear it when we plan on destroying teams.
I would love to move back West. But, alas, my job is pretty D.C.-centric and my wife is an East Coaster. Double whammy.
I'm in North Carolina and I watched the game. It's actually nice some times. All the kids are in bed and it's only two hours. The football games OTOH ending at 3 in the morning can suck.

Agreed, basketball is much more doable than football. The nice thing is that I can watch 3 of the next 5 (damn OSU at 11:00 and ASU at 10:30 on a work night). I'm still hoping for an afternoon tip for the UofA game.
To be candid, I really like to see how CU does with its Big 3 healthy and playing together. Never really want to see players hurt.
When I was playing, I always wanted to measure myself when the opponent is at its best.
I assumed it was his rivalry jacket. He's only worn it for BYU and CU, right?
They will be an interesting team next year. They only lose Asika (which is a big loss), but a lot of conference teams don't lose anything of substance (OSU, UW, etc).
Nice try, Larry. CU is not a hated rival. They are just hated.
I think Larry's just trying to adopt the company line.

One of these days we'll get you out to the sticks to watch a game with me, and potentially board legend UtahDan.

Saw it tweeted several times the other night once the margin got over 30: No team in D-1 punishes average teams like Utah does.
You can name the line on whatever team Utah plays in the first round of the Dance, but I'll gladly lay the points, TYVM.
Has to be a frustrating year for Colorado. Four losses by 3 points or less and haven't played a league game with their true starting 5. I think they take a lot of frustration out on Arizona in a couple of weeks and pull the Cats back into a first-place tie heading into our game against them (I'm not sold that we can sweep our Oregon roadie)
Not at 11 pm on a worknight you won't!
Yeah, that Oregon St. tip is a bit of a letdown.
