MU vs. Colorado

[rgoode57]

I think Colorado is a tough match-up. They are long, athletic, move the ball well and aggressive on the boards. And Lampkin, their big guy is a load. Oso will have his hands full. MU will have to bring their A-game.

I agree with this analysis. lLampkin is a load and your other points are accurate.

That aside, I'm hoping that Kam continues on his late season heater. Gold may play some valuable minutes too as other than Lampkin, he can matchup pretty well with the other CU lengthy players.

Sure hope Chase pulls it together as we do need some contributions from him if he is going to be a primary sub.

Colorado probably thinks we are a tough matchup.

Lampkin is good but slow and on his 3rd game in 5 days. Could be slow back on transition.

Feel like if every team doesn't bring their  A game at this level, that team is going home.

I hadn't seen much of Colorado before today but I know 2 things from watching them and the rest of the tournament.

1. The PAC 12 was underrated

2. Colorado can really shoot the ball.

The bolded is true. What is also true, is if both teams bring their A-game, we are going to advance and they are going home.

So we just need to bring our A-game.

Colorado has been rolling as of late. However, if you all dont think we can get past a 10 seed, then why was there all this talk about a final four run throughout the season.

We were a constant in the top 10 all season, we have a senior laden team, our corner of the bracket has been blown wide open. Games are going to get harder each round, but it's time for Marquette to feast.

At the end of the day, we control our own destiny. Play the way we did in the first half and we lose to any of the other 67 teams in the tournament. play the way we did in the second half and we could be in "hoopin" in April

[FairWeatherEagle]

B+ will win it too.
I wish to see an A game....we've seen it at times but still looking for consistency for 40

[mu_hilltopper]

I'd say this game is a toss-up.

CU isn't really a 10 seed, talent-wise. They were a top 25ish team preseason, but had a lot of injury problems and had a few resulting lulls during the season that knocked them down a bit.  But they've been playing well down the stretch and are likely closer to a 6 or 7 seed talent-wise.  Tad Boyle has been a decent coach and has put together some good runs every few years. 

Offensively, they can be just as good as MU.  Not quite as strong defensively, but they can definitely beat us, especially if we play like the end of the first half today. 

That said, they can be inconsistent at times and haven't beat anyone of MU's caliber.  But I expect a pretty competitive game.

This is correct

Mods are all COLE.

Could we lose on Sunday. Sure. But we're the better team and favored.

-6.5 is a lock. Why people are nervous about a team who literally just gave up 100 points in 40 minutes is beyond me.

Well...to be fair...they also scored over 100.

Florida is a terrible defensive team

How was Colorado a 10

[DienerTime34]

How is Colorado a 10 seed when every metric I see has them as a 4/5? Kam's gonna need to score 30+
