How is Dan Dickau employed?

I think you might be thinking of Dan Dakich? Dan Dickau used to play at Gonzaga; really good player who helped put them on the map.

If the weather holds up I plan to drive down from Steamboat Springs to Denver/Boulder for the game tonight. It will be the first time I've seen the Clones play in person since the 2016 NCAA tournament in Denver.

Entire family will be there - top of Section 10.

There was absolutely no doubt who the better team was when we smoked Colorado in Maui by 29 points, but the stars all lined up for us that game:

  • Colorado had just upset #2 UConn the night before while we suffered a crushing last second loss to Auburn a few nights before.
  • We shot 60% from the field, including 44% from 3. Doubt very much that will happen tonight.
  • We tuned them over 18 times for 37 points. They were going up against a TJ Cyclone team for the first time and were absolutely shell shocked to start the game. They will be MUCH better prepared tonight.
  • This game is on their home court and they are salivating at their chance to avenge the humiliation we gave them in Maui.
Looks like Vegas agrees that this 9-2 Colorado team is pretty decent and the 29 point thrashing in Maui might have been a little flukey as we're only a 10 point favorite tonight.

I'm guessing we still win, but we don't beat the spread, but that's just a wild ass guess. Sounds like TJ has been placing a renewed emphasis on defense over the break period, and that's a plus when you're hitting the road in conference play.

This one feels a lot like Iowa without the Rivalry angle. These are the type of "take care of business" type games they are going to have to win consistently if they are going to be as good as we hope they can be.

Pretty sure the Dayton win was before Colorado in Maui
