*** Official Colorado vs #5 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[bos]

I start to wonder if UConn just isn't very good this year

They will eventually put it together. Glad they wont be our problem for a long time yet.

They lost a decent amount of good talent. Just look at what Castle is doing in the NBA now.

Didn't they put 3 guys in the NBA. Klingan (sp?) Castle and 1 other?

The guy from the 'pretty fly for a white guy' music video plays for Louisville

Defensive rotation really improved last 5-6 minutes. Jefferson played smart defense to avoid 3rd foul, so we were able to keep Jackson fresh for 2nd half. Team looks fired up.

It'll be interesting how today's games turn out. There's really no "bad" or even average team in this field at all. It's possible that the best four teams were on the same side with 1/2 matching up in first game.

Honestly the Auburn vs Iowa State game was probably the real championship game.

Newton is the other, and then Spencer too. They got four players drafted.

Best game I've seen so far

Gilbert doesn't have that go off his foot and we're playing Tyrese and the Tigers.

 

[cayin]

did you guys hear the CU head coach say we were slow footed? And their coach also noticed our defenders leave their feet a lot, so he has them pump faking.

 

[Frak]

I would think he and Jackson combined are kind of what we're missing, then Chat adds depth. But I wouldn't say "Jefferson" alone.

Auburn could very well be ranked 2 or 3 soon and we had them right there on the most neutral court possible. Auburn certainly handled UNC and Houston more easily than they did ISU.

That was a really good team. One that I’ll remember when filling out my bracket.

As much as it sucks we lost that game... that game is still going to do wonders for our resume in March. And as long as we're not fighting Auburn for the last #1 seed, it's the kind of game that could help us get a #1.

Can't argue with either point.

At least that's never happened to us in the round of 8 before.

 

[SoleCyclone]

Regarding our new players, one thing that will be so valuable is frontcourt guys that can hit a good percentage from the line

 

[jdoggivjc]

So much respect. We might be all right.

Bilas has really had his eye on ISU since TJ took over the program - especially with what he did in year 1 with the roster that he had.

 

[cyclones500]

Solid first half, let's keep rolling coming out of locker room, keep the cushion.

 

[fsanford]

Newton is the other, and then Spencer too. They got four players drafted.

Yep you don't replace that very easily

 

[Pope]

Pretty awesome first half, but if there's one thing this tournament has shown, there's no such thing as a safe lead. We really need to win the first 5 minutes of this half and set the tone.

 

[jdoggivjc]

too bad Mon-asdkfjsaodjfsdpoifjasdpfjasd-vic wasn't this hot against Auburn.

 

[fsanford]

3 second does not exist. That CU player was camped in the lane
