Not sure how many stayed after to hear the guys in the studio, but they hyped us to the ****ing moon.

Started getting the 1st half against Auburn excitement feels again.
Anyone have snippets they can post? I had to leave as soon as the game was over. Would love to watch those!

Cannot overstate how important it is to have "national" folks talking about you.

It's the same in college football (except the opposite - NO national pundit/media person cares to talk about a Big 12 team, at all).

We looked the part of a legit top 10 team this week. Had we pulled it out against Auburn and went 3 - 0, we'd be in the hunt for AP #1 this next week.

Overall, agree with Rob and Chris postgame - a very good week.

He's a lot slower than Homan. And Homan would probably win in a street fight. And Homan had a 19 pts and 20 rebounds against eventual champ UNC in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. Chatfield is a nice player off the bench. I think the only comparison is that they are both white.

That’s why the Redskins wanted him…

Different coaches coach differently. I don’t really know what to expect going back to playing teams at altitude but comparing teams from 15+ years ago is pointless.
Clearly you don't understand the difference. It's not a coaching thing. There were a dozen coaches across multiple sports that struggled in boulder.

It's an environmental thing. If you don't understand the training advantages and differences between 900 ft and 5400 ft, you can't be helped.

There's a reason Olympic teams often train at altitude.

Just getting to watch the game now.

I see Martin Rancik's son plays for Colorado. Spitting image of his old man, who played on the Elite 8 team! I'm sure it was discussed during the game, I wonder if there was any contact during his recruitment with TJ as a legacy player. Then again, I don't think Martin Rancik has maintained much of a relationship here, like many of LE's players.

Wrong. They were every bit as good as Auburn. If regulation was +/- 10 seconds they could have easily won it in overtime.
Auburn beat ISU (two pretty damn even teams) UNC, and Memphis.
I think UNC and Memphis are probably better than Dayton and Colorado.

No shame appearing to be the second best team in this tourney.
