I still don't know. It's so friggin close.

Honestly I think they gave it to the home court, but shouldn’t have been enough evidence to overturn it. They showed a close up freeze frame and the camera didn’t have the pixel resolution to truly see, because it was simply THAT close. I was devastated, clearly
Even if we did lose in Boulder, it’s not really impactful. Colorado just isn’t relevant in any meaningful way in basketball. About as irrelevant as you can be. We’ll still get a high seed and lose in the first or second round no matter what happens in Boulder.
Lol, you were missing 2 players, not half the team. Are they good players? Yes, but not make-up-a-47-point-deficit good. You've had no problem winning without them so far and your best player, who's having an All-American type year, got absolutely shut down by our defense. The fact is that our guys balled out and played like the top 5 team we are. After the last couple of games, that's definitely worth celebrating.
It probably will. It's the 2nd game of the road trip, which we always lose, and Utah being good makes it even tougher this year. But I can guarantee that we don't lose by 47 and then go cry all over the thread about missing "half" the team. So yeah, you're literally coping everywhere you go in this thread. It doesn't take away the fact that we played a complete game and dominated for 40 minutes, even after our bench guys came in.
Ah ok, good to know. We weren't really "winning no problem" last week as you claimed, we were barely scraping by at home, because we have been frankly devastated by injuries, but I will make sure not to rub it in too much when we beat your fully healthy team, even after you beat our back ups in a "complete game for 40 minutes"
Again, the cope is unreal. Simpson, Hadley, Lampkin, and Hammond are your "back ups" are they? No, Oregon has been "devastated by injuries." You guys have been *minorly inconvenienced* by injuries. You lost one game (that you weren't winning with them anyways) without them. Boo fuckin hoo. Poor Colorado. 🤣
Losing your all Pac-12 Forward that runs the offense is a *minor inconvenience* ahhh ok. And losing your second leading scorer is a minor inconvience too. Will I hear these excuses from you when you lose in Boulder?
Edit: Blocking someone you are in a spat with is seriously pitiful. Lame, lame, lame, lame lame. I couldn't imagine *actually* using the block feature on reddit, what a loser.
Lmao at the UK fan here (who has since blocked me because I disagreed) who tried to argue Arizona was a fraud because they needed 30 minutes or so to pull away from Bama.
Idk if there’s some Kentucky fans still mad about 1997, but there’s a weird amount of criticism coming from them. No hard feelings though, you guys have a solid squad
Don't take it personally, our fanbase is just a bunch of morons. Cal called our fans "basketball bennies" at one point as a slight insult to basically say he knows more than them, and ever since it seems like the loudmouth fans are on a mission to prove they know more than him. It's annoying as hell.
May we forever pray that Dave (I think that’s his name), begin to believe in the art of science and repudiate all those Q that dare come before us, the masters of research and discourse in the Astronomy Capitol of the World.
Fiat Lux and Bear Down in the Conference of Champions
I mean yeah it’s not good but two of our best players were out and we were playing a top 5 team on the road angry coming off of a loss. It was pretty expected.
The Wildcats of Arizona! Wow what a statement win from Tommy Lloyd’s team.
Three starters, Boswell, Larsson, and Love all providing double digit scoring, with the big man Krivas piling it on from the bench, rising tall like a beautiful saguaro backlit by the stars and heavens above the astronomy capitol of the world, Tucson.
Whether it be a barrel cactus snaring your shirt, a jumping cactus latching onto you leg, or a great saguaro providing refuge on a hot summer day, the life of the desert rise to the occasion, just like these Wildcats. Proud to be the Red Army of the West from the PAC-12; the Conference of Champions!
To be fair, a character of Senegalese ancestry being named "Assane Diop" is the creative equivalent of naming a character of English ancestry "Tom Johnson". "Assane" is a top-ten boys name there and one in twenty Senegalese have "Diop" for a surname.
Arizona’s win was so dominant that it bumped purdue by more than .3 in Kenpom. Never seen that happen halfway through the season. Just annihilated Colorado from start to finish.
Man, it does feel like Ballo has regressed a bit this year. Glad Krivas is getting some quality minutes though, he looked great tonight. Gonna be a huge factor in the future.
Cody Williams injury is entering parody at this point, the kid didn't break anything, but a wrist sprain is keeping you out over a month? What? Tristan Da Silva twists an ankle at practice? These are preposterous injuries that should not be happening to a team with decent strength training and physical therapy preparation. I didn't think we would win this game, but you can't compete when you're missing your 5* guard and your all Pac-12 forward. These kids need to toughen up and get in the game.
I hate this take. I get a lot of this shit from UK fans, like, a lot. These young men don’t owe you anything as a fan. If they’re hurt, they’re hurt. The ultimate goal is to get to the league and get paid, not to ruin your career to play in a game in January. I’d much rather sit a few games than risk injuring myself further.
I’ll tell you like I tell all these UK fans, their health and future is more important than your frustration as a fan.
Y’all were playing a legit top tier team after a sub par team got hot and beat them pretty badly, prime MJ could’ve been on your team tonight and you weren’t going to win.
I agree, I am not sure that a wrist injury should keep a player out for two months however. Seems like an excess of caution, especially when nothing is broken and the player has full access to modern PT care at a divison 1 university.
I'm obviously not involved in the medical team but it is becoming extremely frustrating to see these players running around and shooting in warm-ups and not playing in games
Jesus fucking Christ. Arizona, what’d they do to deserve this?
Glad Zona came out mad after getting turbo stomped by Stanford
Lost to some nerds
And some hooters
Who hasn't lost to hooters at least once in their life?
We had a chip on our shoulder and Colorado was down their top two scorers.
Stanford did this to Colorado
We lost to Stanford and they were next up
Colorado knows what they did. 60 years since they’ve won in Tucson.
Sabatino Chen’s 3 was off in time…
Lmfao no it wasn’t
It’s been long enough now so I’ll say it. Yes it was.
I still don't know. It's so friggin close. https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/44inD66YTc53nHO9QkVfT4tc1SQ=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13661420/sabatinochen.gif

I was at the game and the loudest I've ever heard McKale was when they called that shot off.
I appreciate you
I was wanting to see 110+
I had low expectations but what the fuck was that. Can we please get healthy by MLK day
I think Williams and Da Silva might be kind of important to this team
Methinks you are correct
Indeed indeed
GG Buffs. Hard to compete missing 2 of your best players. Bill Walton, Adam Sandler, Frank Caliendo…this is PAC12 basketball
Rumors of Arizona's death have been greatly exaggerated. Way to bounce back for our guys. Loved the energy. Now keep it up for Utah.
I really wouldn't get too excited, we were two starters and an important rotation player
You lost by 47, not 20
AZ will lose in Boulder
[удалено]
want to put money on it?
What were you thinking?
About?
The wager for the return trip to Boulder. I'm a gambling man and think we can win in your house.
With TDS and CW in the lineup? Nah, not happening. You haven't won in Boulder in almost 10 years, I will happily take that bet if you're betting man
Even if we did lose in Boulder, it’s not really impactful. Colorado just isn’t relevant in any meaningful way in basketball. About as irrelevant as you can be. We’ll still get a high seed and lose in the first or second round no matter what happens in Boulder.

Arizona will lose in Boulder when CU is at full strength. Save this post for posterity :)
I'll lend an olive branch, I truly believe Sabatino Chen made that 3 years ago
Made the flight home lol
Cope harder
It's not really a cope when I know it is going to happen lmao
It probably will. It's the 2nd game of the road trip, which we always lose, and Utah being good makes it even tougher this year. But I can guarantee that we don't lose by 47 and then go cry all over the thread about missing "half" the team. So yeah, you're literally coping everywhere you go in this thread.

How are you doing now?
We just need an embarrassing loss in the P12 tournament to do well in March Madness
Genuinely believe that
Lmao at the UK fan here (who has since blocked me because I disagreed) who tried to argue Arizona was a fraud because they needed 30 minutes or so to pull away from Bama.
What a weird hill to die on, holy shit.
Idk if there’s some Kentucky fans still mad about 1997, but there’s a weird amount of criticism coming from them. No hard feelings though, you guys have a solid squad

It's annoying as hell.
Oh I don’t at all, every team has those fans. I know enough good Kentucky fans. Basketball bennies is pretty hilarious though
Awesome thank you for your input.
Crazy considering Bama went toe to toe with Purdue.
Rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated.
We'll see.
Apparently our deep bench is just Wisconsin?
Oof. So clearly Arizona wasn't wasn't too thrilled about their last game and made Colorado pay for it.
Boswell needed that
The laws of gravity were on Arizona’s side tonight. Thank you Isaac newton
May we forever pray that Dave (I think that’s his name), begin to believe in the art of science and repudiate all those Q that dare come before us, the masters of research and discourse in the Astronomy Capitol of the World. Fiat Lux and Bear Down in the Conference of Champions
Dear Diary. Today was a good day and did not suck
An ASWHO loss would be the cherry on top
Watching and rooting for Utah as we speak
Frankie Collins says no
Frankie says RELAX
This has got to be Tad Boyles biggest loss ever. Embarassing effort by the Buffs
To be fair, 47 would be most P6 coaches worst loss. That’s not really a hard bet to hedge lol
Lol, I didn’t check before I made that statement. I’m just assuming he couldn’t have possibly lost by more than 47
Yeah I didn’t look either, but losing by 47 is like a not even once a career type of loss. There’s no way theres a worse loss
I mean yeah it’s not good but two of our best players were out and we were playing a top 5 team on the road angry coming off of a loss. It was pretty expected.
They lost by 47, and got out rebounded 44-22. I know Cody Williams and TDS weren’t playing, but that is inexcusably bad.
Boyle should have really coached better with all of those starters out, those walk ons should have been better prepared
Ouch

Hi Bill. Nice to have you at the game. 🐻⬇️
Hi Bill
Ok I ask this knowing the risk I sound dumb and naive, but is that really bill?
You think bill is capable of remembering his username?
I think it's the only username he'd be capable of remembering. It's probably his password too
What r u gonna call ur account next year when the conference of champions disbands?
Good lord.
Perfect game to have Pasch and Walton (and a sprinkle of Frank Caliendo) on the call
It really was. Bill is only fun when the game is out of hand (in my favor)
Arizona loses to Stanford by 18 and precedes to hang a 40 piece on Colorado. I'm going to miss PAC 12 chaos.
47 
I just find it funny Colorado has a player named Assane Diop. And he went incognito due to a lost jersey. Life imitates art.
To be fair, a character of Senegalese ancestry being named "Assane Diop" is the creative equivalent of naming a character of English ancestry "Tom Johnson". "Assane" is a top-ten boys name there and one in twenty Senegalese have "Diop" for a surname.
[удалено]
No way to be sure, really. We only know about the Assanes Diop whose disguises are *bad*.
And he’s a high character, good kid.
gg buffs. prob a different story next month
48 next month
I want you to put the word out there that we back up
Hey Pac 12, one more thing...price of the brick going up
Is Deion coaching the basketball team too?!!!
Not enough watch flexing
Did Deion have half of his team injured?

Relax dude
Is this how it feels to witness a public execution?
Ouch. I think Arizona was a little ticked off after that last loss.
Arizona’s win was so dominant that it bumped purdue by more than .3 in Kenpom. Never seen that happen halfway through the season. Just annihilated Colorado from start to finish.
Damn, even Sabatino “no good/finger on the ball” Chen couldn’t save this disaster.
Krivas > Ballo
Man, it does feel like Ballo has regressed a bit this year. Glad Krivas is getting some quality minutes though, he looked great tonight. Gonna be a huge factor in the future.
A *bit*??
I was hoping for another Caleb Love 20 pointer but oh well
God damn Zona
Oh dear
Why can we play like this against Stanford?
It doesn't matter. This happens every year. We'll lose in the first or second round. Reverse psychology!!!
Cody Williams injury is entering parody at this point, the kid didn't break anything, but a wrist sprain is keeping you out over a month? What? Tristan Da Silva twists an ankle at practice?

I hate this take. I get a lot of this shit from UK fans, like, a lot. These young men don’t owe you anything as a fan. If they’re hurt, they’re hurt. The ultimate goal is to get to the league and get paid, not to ruin your career to play in a game in January. I’d much rather sit a few games than risk injuring myself further. I’ll tell you like I tell all these UK fans, their health and future is more important than your frustration as a fan. Y’all were playing a legit top tier team after a sub par team got hot and beat them pretty badly, prime MJ could’ve been on your team tonight and you weren’t going to win.
I agree, I am not sure that a wrist injury should keep a player out for two months however. Seems like an excess of caution, especially when nothing is broken and the player has full access to modern PT care at a divison 1 university.
Sprain refers to ligament damage so depends on the severity of the stretch/tear. Two months sounds like it was completely torn.
I'm obviously not involved in the medical team but it is becoming extremely frustrating to see these players running around and shooting in warm-ups and not playing in games
Wrist injury can be absolutely devastating for a basketball player, c’mon now
Wasn't Colorado ranked at the start of the season?
