Here's my preview of the CU-Wazzu matchup on both sides of the ball ⬇️

Looks like someone in the finance department forgot to carry the 1 when they did their forecast math. I hope we have better people doing forecasts here as we are very comparable schools. Will be interesting to see what effect this has on athletics particularly with Jed Fisch becoming a hot commodity.

They also approached the Sun Belt who told them no. If I was the MWC I do what they can to force those two to join the conference outright.

A much faster and physical effort on both ends of the court led No. 25-ranked Colorado to start the Sunshine Slam in dominant fashion with a 106-79 win over Milwaukee.

“[Playing at Colorado has] been exactly what I've been looking for."

Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig developing and enjoyed his experience at Colorado.

This is amazing. 146mm being paid to guys who failed. Jim is buyout just 6mm less than the entire KSU athletics budget.

WE are getting better =)

Second place goes to @rward at CU 27 UA-32 for 6 points

Winner is @mrmcbeath45 (I believe his #2 win) at 27 to 34 so 4 points.

Congrats @mrmcbeath45
