John and Eric were saying it was one of the better atmospheres they've seen in Boulder against ISU which kind of surprised me. I thought it might have sucked a little with no students and CU not expected to be all that good.

A lot of ISU fans there, but CU fans showed up and got loud when they were doing well. It was a fun atmosphere.

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...
Being an avid horse racing person, I would classify this bunch as closers

There's a reason USA olympic athletes trained in Colorado Springs for many years & doing so allows for better performance at lower altitudes.


Well then these Buffalo's should be some of the best conditioned athlete's in the conference and run circle's around everyone..............right?

But they won't...in fact, they didn't tonight against a bunch of guys who train at about what, maybe 700 feet above sea level.. With all the timeout's and substitutions you don't need to be an Olympiad to compete and win at this altitude.

We’re really really good. So many guys that can have a big day and just break the hearts of the under dog. Must be so frustrating to play us. Think you have a leg up and we just turn it around and there’s nothing you can do about it. I’ve never been this confident watching ISU basketball.
