This team just pulled off something the 99-00 team couldn't. A win in boulder. Hope they also do this by getting to the final 4!

Brother I’ll gladly eat crow. I’m well aware I’m not the most rational in the moment. Although I don’t think I said they aren’t what we thought.
24-1 in their last 25 home games. 24-2 in their last 26
. I would bet they knock off a couple
Anything beats getting away from ESPN.
Hey good job ISU fans in attendance! You were heard!
There's a reason that some of these altitude places glhave great home field records. It does matter when it's a different level than you usually deal with. There's a reason why Olympians train at altitude. It's harder they're. Body is not the same.
Agree on the officiating. Terrible both ways.
This team still beat UCONN too and UCONN has responded nicely since Maui24-1 in their last 25 home games. 24-2 in their last 26
I know we smoked them a month ago, but this is a huge road win to start off conference play. They'll be a huge problem for everyone in Boulder.
That affects the best athletes in the world. Not saying it as an excuse but the air is thinner and even shooting is not as accurate in the thin air. If you have ever trained in altitude you would know
Another occasion when it's so good to have multiple lineup combos, and to adapt.
I didn't jinx us with the late gameday thread start. Although without deep research I feel like our winning % is quite high in those games.
They aren't, but they aren't playing middle aged beer drinkers either. It still knocks them down a %, and when these are all division 1 players on both sides, that % can be a difference maker.
It matters. Whether that be for Colorado, BYU, or even in the NBA

The Denver Nuggets' home court advantage has been the NBA's strongest since 2000. The Utah Jazz, the league's other high altitude team, ranks second.

After we went down in the 2nd half & several on here posted we are fine, I'll have to say I felt the same, much like most of our football games when it got close or we lost the lead. Seriously felt if they just settle down & do their jobs, they will get back in it & they certainly did.
Not saying I was ultra confident nor my bp wasn't elevated, but did have a good deal of confidence ISU would pull through. Kind of a weird feeling...
