Colorado 1/15 9:00 ESPN+

[London 'Cat]

7 point lead down to 1. Unbelievable.

[fmirzamd]

Can’t hit free throws, from the paint so many turnovers not a winning combination

[Rufus]

It only counts once....at the end.

Correct but yet having a double digit lead at the ten minute mark of the second half.

[Bearcat9796]

has anyone, all year, tried to take a charge this year?

[kennh]

Thankfully I was wrong.

[London 'Cat]

They got the win but it wasn’t pretty. Box score.

Free throws in the end did it. We will take it.

[Gmann]

Glad to get a win but many this team has a lot of issues. Maybe a win will give them o confidence.

The Colorado game should be an indicator as to how bad UC is. Both teams are 0-4 in the conference. CU is in last place at 16 and UC is right in front at 15. Remember that UC was picked to finish no lower than 6th. Man, did somebody get that one wrong. At any rate, I HONESTLY do NOT see a win here for UC. Here are the reasons why: 1) CU is scoring 68.5 points/g in the conference. UC is only scoring 55 points/g. CU is shooting it at 43.8 %, UC is shooting at 37.9%. CU hits about 15.3 free throws/g, UC makes only about 5.8 free throws/g. That is a difference of 9.5 more free throws made/g. Likewise, CU is shooting the 3-ball at a slightly higher average, 29% to 26%. These numbers suggest that UC again is in trouble.

Defensively, UC may have a slight chance. CU gives up about 78.3 points/g, UC gives up about 66 points/g. Also, UC is holding teams to 26% from three. CU is holding teams to 35.7% from three. Likewise, UC has a slight rebounding edge at 36/g to 34/g. UC has an edge when it comes to the offensive boards 13/g to 10/g. UC turns the ball over less than CU 13/g to 17/g.

UC has some of the most dismal conference stats in the BIG 12. UC has to be the worst offensive team in the BIG 12. After Saturday's game, UC now has a negative 10.5 scoring margin. Think about this for a second, UC gave up only 54 points and LOST by 14 to Kansas.

I read that Mitchell gave a very passionate speech last week to the team. He stressed that there is a lot more basketball still left to play and that the team must continue to work hard and continue to fight. In life, once you hit the absolute bottom, if you fight hard enough you can only go up. Let's hope that UC basketball hit the absolute bottom with the Kansas loss. Let's also hope that UC basketball will NOT drop below the bottom.

I was wrong. Glad I am. Any win in the BIG XII is a good win.

You are correct. I have not seen anyone take a charge either. Good point.

Wasn’t pretty but they took care of business in winning time, despite losing all the momentum. Potential turning point in season.

Wes had a different tone during his postgame radio interview. Very monotone and short and concise responses. Sounds like the last few weeks have gotten to him - as they should.

[GoBearcats31]

Gotta keep winning. Dayton has dropped 3 straight. That big non conference win is worsening by the day.

[bearcatjd]

Awesome win & any B12 win is a great win. Let's start a big winning streak!

He most definitely did have a different tone almost like I don't want to talk anymore I'll just show all of you doubters. I'm glad they got the win but that was a depleted team they played and still almost blew it. I'm hoping this relieves some pressure and they can stack some wins but I still have serious doubts. The offense is almost unwatchable.
