Today the Buffs have a chance to win back to back road games for the first time since the 21-22, Oregon State, Cal, stanford run. This will be tough as the 2nd road game in a row tests the players stamina and mental toughness. Being in the early afternoon i think will help. Myles RIce is the real deal but like Pope, KJ can definitely shut him down with a good effort. Isaac JOnes is also going to present problems but he is more of an inside threat so i think Eddie can cover him but he's got to avoid the silly fouls and will need some help.
If we are rested and focused from the start, like UDUB we should wear them down. No excuses for the defense and rebounding, that should be table stakes for this team every game. Nobody except Az in the conference can hang with us offensively if we play our game. Our balanced scoring gives us protection if someone has an off night. HCTB needs to channel his inner Dan Lanning and get our team ready to play with a fire and brim stone pre-game and halftime talk. We are the Alpha Dog and if we act like it, we should win. P12 refs are always a wildcard so just gotta ignore that variable.
Go Buffs. Come out ready to dominate .
