I watched a lot of Colorado’s game yesterday, will be curious to see if we can shut down their NAIA center. CU tried to get him the ball on every single possession yesterday. He dominated Northwestern College last year in the NAIA tournament

I knew this tourney was stacked but just looked at KenPom. As of today:
#1 Auburn
#9 Iowa State
#10 UCONN
#13 UNC
#27 Memphis
#35 Dayton
#42 Michigan State
#68 Colorado
7 of 8 in top 42 is crazy.

Lipsey will have full legs. He played only 16 min last night. That’s a positive.
Awesome bracket to have the bottom two teams paired up while two of the top teams got paired up also.
Especially since we haven’t force > 12 in either game - and we’ve given up 80+ points. We’re due for a good defensive game.
I'm guessing (hoping?) our defense looking a little disjointed is the number of new guys we're trying to work in and see where the puzzle pieces fit. I'm confident things will be a well oiled machine by conference play.
And love how much of a gamer KG is, but we have plenty of weapons on offense to keep defenses honest if we move it around more. Also not too worried at this juncture.

I get both sides of this argument but I'll lean with ISU doesn't play well at Boulder/altitude. Its hard for everyone to win there and ISU has historically struggled mightily in Boulder. I get it was 25 years ago but one of the 2000 regular season champs 2 conference losses was at Colorado.
I guess I don’t know about other teams that are at elevation. We have never played at Utah. We have only ever lost to BYU once last year. I guess my thought is maybe it’s partly just at Colorado that we struggle. You also have to factor large portions of time we just were not good on the road. So the only real opportunity you have to look is when we had Floyd and Eustachy. I just think people are making to much out of it.
It all depends on where teams finish. For aQ1 win on a neutral court is has to be a win against a team ranked 1-50. By the end of the year Dayton might still be a Q1 win.
I'm no basketball expert, but I think Auburn will be a Q1 loss
Last time we played in Boulder was 2010 and it was Fred's first year. We won one game on the road the entire year (Iowa lol). Since then we've played in the state of Colorado once, which was in 2016 in the 1st and 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament in Denver. Won both games.
Correct. This is like the football games played earlier this year between new league foes. Games were scheduled previously and they don't count towards conference records.
We’re only 20th in TO%!! After being #1 by a long shot for the last two years.
And our Offensive Rating is higher than our Defensive Rating!
What is going on here?!?
Funny fact: when Johnny Orr was coach, he was at a speaking engagement (Elks in Ames). He mentioned the fact that at that time, the Colorado basketball court had 5240 at each free throw line (facing the player), Johnny was not to worried, he said “his players were not smart enough to know what that meant”.
