Watched the mens and women slalom event last night under the lights in Steamboat for the Ski Natty Championship. Gold medal for Wahlquist (M) and Lusac (W) and the team gained 5 points on Utah. CU has the best Nordic team i believe and today in the final event of the national championship the team needs to make up 51 points on the Utes. Definitely a long shot but its in our crib so who knows as the 20k classic event can have interesting outcomes.

The men need to close the gap at 10 am and the women have to crush the field at noon. Keep good thoughts.
Go Buffs.

Happy Saturday everyone! Buffs in Corvallis today for their final regular season game. What a season it has been for the Buffs, but they're ending strong as they look for their sixth straight win against the Beavers, who are currently last in the Pac-12. No Cody Williams and no Julian Hammond today. Starters:

Colorado
Luke O'Brien (6.4 ppg)
J'Vonne Hadlley (12.2)
KJ Simpson (19.8)
Tristan da Silva (16.4)
Eddie Lampkin (6.9)

Oregon State
Jordan Pope (17.9 ppg)
Dexter Akanno (10.6)
Michael Rataj (8.4)
Tyler Bildeau (14.4)
Chol Marial (2.4)

In a post game interview coach Boyle mentioned this as a possibility. Honestly, I agree. The line up right now has being playing great because of a combination of cohesiveness and experience. To have a player of his caliber coming off the bench against other teams bench players could be an advantage. Also the fact that he might be a one and done player, this may not effect team chemistry that much. Not saying this should be permanent if they make a run in the Pac 12 tournament but could be on the table. Thoughts?

Hellooo everyone! Hopefully MBB can help ease the 2OT heartbreaker in Vegas for WBB vs. Oregon State with their own Oregon win tonight. The headline matchup for the Buffs as they continue to battle their way into the tournament. Both CU and Oregon sit 11-7 in the Pac-12. Should be a good one. Buffs will be without Cody Williams (ankle) and Julian Hammond III (knee) tonight in Eugene. Starters:

Colorado:
Luke O'Brien (6.4 ppg)
J'Vonne Hadley (11.9)
KJ Simpson (19.9)
Tristan da Silva (16.2)
Eddie Lampkin (10.0)

Oregon:
Jackson Shelstad (12.3 ppg)
Jermaine Couisnard (15.5)

First Pac-12 QF of the day between CU and Oregon State. Feels like the Buffs may need this one to have a chance at hosting in the NCAA Tournament as well, so a big, big game. Buffs are 0-2 against Oregon State this season. OSU has lost 3 of 5, but just got Raegan Beers back in the regular season finale.

Regular Starters for the Buffs:
Jaylyn Sherrod
Maddie Nolan
Frida Formann
Aaronette Vonleh
Quay Miller

For Oregon State:

Talia von Oelhoffen
AJ Marotte
Timea Gardiner
Raegan Beers (17.4 PPG, 10.5 RPG)

Heading into the 2024 NCAA Tournament, Warner Bros. Discovery is giving TruTV a sports-centric facelift.

Per Variety, TruTV is getting a hefty dose of simulcasts and alternate broadcasts of live games airing on TBS and TNT and will also be chock full of alternate broadcasts. The shift in strategy is supposed to go live on Monday, March 11.

Additionally, several sports-centric originals will air on TruTV, including the TNT Sports Update, a weekly House of Highlights show, the betting-centric The Line, and the NBA social media-forward Handles.

3.388 million watched the game. Great for WBB! For the season, Ohio State-Iowa ranks second among all college basketball games (men and women) behind only an NFL-fueled Michigan State-Arizona game on Thanksgiving (5.2M).

It also means that 3.388 million believe there is a single NCAA record combining men and women's scoring. I did not watch, but my guess is it was present that way in the broadcast. There is not a combined official record and a pet peeve is that MBB/WBB seems to be the only sport with both genders play that there is a push by people to combined all the numbers even though they are two different games in depth in the sport as far as teams, some rules (ball is smaller and they play qrts) and one game includes one game playing above the rim and others not.

Of course TV money drops, I do not see many constant ticket selling opponents on the list and will fandom stay engaged if you are not playing at the level to compete for THE national championship. Of course there is every change CU ends up in the "in" group of schools, but there is of course every chance CU does not.
