Matt with 3 shot attempts, and it's not like he isn't trying

Yep, works the sh@it out of the refs.

Colorado's defense looks pretty good. Doubling Matt seems to be working. Only Thorpe and Kelly are hitting any shots and we're turning it over way too much.

Only down 4 while Matt has 0 points. But we need to get him going somehow. Matt has to find the cutter whose man is double teaming him. Make them pay. We had like 3 completely wide open 3s we couldn't knock down. We also made these awful entry passes. Clean it up, get Matt going, and we can win this. The D is good again.

Considering Matt killed Colorado in our win, this is a major prob

Let's see if Fox can make a half time adjustment

Kelly and Battier both return too, and so far Battier is winning the battle

Co has taken 4 more shots and 5 more free throws. We have 8 TOs to their 5. Many of our TOs are completely unnecesary. Wish our offense had more movement to it. I don't really get it. Most times, there is really only one person to pass to by design. We are also getting outrebounded by 3.

As a whole, we are playing good defense. They are shooting under 30%. But we need to rebound better and take better shots. All of Foreman's outside shots were horrible shots and either blocked or not close. Grant has missed a couple of wide open looks.

Let's get the ball to Bradley in the middle of the floor so when they double team him, he can get rid of it easily. Two quick passes and we should get a wide open look or get it back to him cutting to the basket as the double team is scrambling to cover the open man.

I would also pound the ball inside.

Battey is thick. I wouldn't want Kelly to be that thick. I think Kelly would dominate leaner and meaner. Some explosion would really help.

Yep heavy dose of Matt and Andre let's go.

Our best player has no points, we are down by 4 points to the #23 team, holding them to 28% shooting from the field, and an 8th grade CYO halftime score on the board? I'll take that. We in it.

Every once in a while you run into a guy that you like a lot more when he is a LOSER than when he is a winner. Tad Boyle is that guy.

---

He's very much like Montgomery, I would take him in a second.

---

"But he was 56-66 at Notthern Colorado"
4-24
13-16
14-18
25-8

And he is a Colorado native (who played for Larry Brown at Kansas).

Colorado made a smart bet and it has paid off.

Wright 1-7

Almost an ideal Fox game, just so Colorado doesn't go on a run in the second half.

Buffs spend a lot of time whining. Some of their shot selection raises the spectre of point shaving in the desert.

Don't see a successful adjustment yet

Maybe we need to put our all shooters line up with foreman at the point, Ryan, Grant, Matt and Celestine

Are we trying to set the record for horrible entry passes into the post in a tournament?

I think Slim just purchased a ticket for the last bus out of town.

12 minutes to go and the best free-throw shooting team will be shooting FTs the rest of the game. Not ideal.

---

Have to hand it to the CU defense and Tad Boyle they are really giving us a hard time. And Fox' strength is not adjusting his offense. He has to rely on Matt who has completely been locked down tonight.

I feel like we could be winning this game. Instead, we are down by eleven.

NathanAllen said:

Bears have now gone 5:17 without a FG. I'm starting to wonder how much last night's game is starting to show up in the legs a bit.

---

Yeah, but isn't that why the Sly Fox has been playing 10-11 guys?

Back to being the frustraing team that doesn't know what it is doing offensively. Fox's rotation doesn't make any sense either.

The bright spot for this game is Thorpe. He looks good. Hitting free throws too.

We've lost our energy on D too.

All they are doing is running a pick and rolll with Wright and Battey and they are getting layups and wide open shots.

Totally. They game-planned well after Bradley torched them in Berkeley.

---

And Celestine had his supernova game.

But it seems that Fox spent the 10 days off on defense.

We have the same lack of energy that Furd had last night right now.

Why we continue to try to feed Lars in the post is beyond me. Especially from the top. Bad angle. Bad hands. Bad combo.

Damn, is ANYONE besides Thorpe having even a half-way decent game tonight?

I think we are running out of gas, although brown is locking down wright

Running out of gas was predictable.

Only down 7 with 4:51 but do we have any energy left?
