Well they are a vulgar lot on their boards. I thought we were going to lose . 39-32 at half and 67-59 when I checked in while in a Restaurant in So Cal. Was pleasantly surprised for a change. Hope we can win 2 next week. Good job at free throw line.

The players won the game. Coach laid out a plan, told them what to do, and the players gutted it up and went out and did it. All on the players. They refused to lose.

That was a very encouraging win! To be able to turn up the intensity and approach on defense, and get scoring going down the stretch is something teams to consistently that finish in the top of the conference. Hopefully this is the start of a trend. And getting strong games from 3-4 starters in the same game is also hopefully on a consistent trend as well.
I had written this one off, glad the team had other plans!

Where’s B1111.....no the Beavers suck comments....amazing!! Thx for asking. Been puking my guts out all day, but taped it. And, "Beavers suck" is typical fake news posted by some about many on here. Sarcasm, don't/ can't actually read all posts, or just like to fabricate BS? I'm not a WT fan, one W doesn't change that or the overall state of his program. And, if you actually read posts I mentioned they still could beat CU and be in a 1-1 log jam. Let's try and help you a bit. Believing the coach isn't the future of the program isn't being anti Beaver. Flail on... Hope you’re feeling better. |

Great win!!
So many superlatives to pass around. True team win tonight. How about Dastrup draining a clutch 3? I would like to think Tinkle knew what he was doing when he went to the 1-3-1, but it was shocking how badly CU folded when the Beavs sped them up. Stroke of luck, or stroke of genius the key to the Buffs offense (Wright IV) was essentially eliminated from the game by the press.
Long way to go, but the Beavs are still in it. Here's hoping we see more of what we saw tonight, and less of the Utah game.
Also, I spent the weekend running a fever/flu and pounding ibuprofen, tea and lemon, and garlic. The win tonight was the best I felt all weekend. Haven't been sick in a couple years. It's definitely going around.

This is why it's tough being a beaver fan. You finally come to the conclusion the team sucks and then they pull this. |

Well, consider me on of those that gave us next to no chance to win this game coming in, and even less so down 12 with less than 8:00 to go. For all the hand wringing we give WT about not making proper adjustments in-game or not being a good in-game coach, today showed the exact opposite. I thought the game turned in our favor even a little before switching to the the 1-3-1 when WT sat Tres for an extended period of time and went with a fairly inexperienced lineup of Ethan, SMM, Lucas, Gianni, and Dastrup which seemed to provide a spark that was much needed. Then when Tres was brought back in we made the switch to the 1-3-1 which Tres played fantastically in. He ended up with three steals but disrupted more plays than that on the defensive end and showed that even when he isn't scoring he can still get other things done on the court. All props to the coaching in the 2nd half and that players executing on those adjustments.
I also don't think enough can be said about the way Ethan played. 24 points for a career high (without a single 3 point FG) and seemingly always coming up with a bucket when we needed it. When he has his shots falling in that 4-10 foot range you can't guard him under the basket, and I'm not sure he missed one today down low. He also found Tres for the go ahead layup which was a well designed play and a perfect pass on top of that. KK got shown up on a dunk attempt by Bey in the 2nd half as well and came back strong with a 1 handed dunk later on which was encouraging to see as well. A nice game from him.
This is going to be a great win as the season goes on. For sure will be a quadrant 1 win at the end of the season and the best game this team has played to date (OK maybe just the best eight minutes, but led to the best result so far). Still plenty of work to be done though and can't afford to slip up against ASU. Go Beavs!!!

The win tonight was the best I felt all weekend. Haven't been sick in a couple years. It's definitely going around. After reading the Buffs' thread on the game, I think we might have to lean toward stroke of genius as to the 1-3-1. They were lamenting the fact that they have no ball handlers and that Boyle hasn't been able to recruit a PG other than McKinley (or Kin as they call him in the board -- took me a minute to figure that out). PG lament sounds a little like the Beavs board. Gianni looked pretty good last night though. Also props for WT going to Dastrup, though he didn't have much of a choice really. Silva couldn't keep up with the Buffs bigs and Hollins wasn't giving the team much last night. But good to Dastrup for stepping up with a 3 and 5 points total. And congrats to Reichle. I was one of those doubting whether he could carry over some of the success he's had this season into conference play and he did that and more. Keep it up Zach. |

Quite the exciting game!
Possibly a season saving win!

CU is now ranked #25 in the AP poll too. Presumably a few people voted early? Either way, hey - beat a ranked team on the road!  |

Quite the exciting game! Possibly a season saving win! Hard to call the 2nd game of the Pac-12 slate "season saving"... but, I would say it was necessary given the massive faceplant we pulled at A&M. Cancel that one out, so to speak. Lets go with "Season maintaining..." We earned a road conference win against a team favored to win. That is huge and cannot be understated. Winning on the road has been the heel of this team for a long time, and an area we must improve on if we want a shot at dancing. |
