Lots of talent. They just haven't performed like it in the last two games. Need to get it fixed fast. Or maybe this team isn't as good as I thought.

Another long second half scoring drought and we can't get stops when needed. We aren't a top 20 team right now. JP is really in a funk. Treyvon is carrying us right now but he can't do it all.

Looks like we will have another team that struggles to win on the road.

Live and die with the 3. Inside is lacking.

Honestly I thought we were way overrated. No way are we a top 10 team. Probably not a top 20 team yet. We really miss Myles. Hope he can jump right in when he comes back but that may be wishful thinking. Last year's team was much more complete .Lot of basketball yet to be played .Not worried but very frustrated right now

Right we are not. Not near as good as last year's team.

Well....that sucked.
X does not a guy that can make a mid-range jump shot.
Nice game for Tre -makes 6-11 from 3. Rest of the team goes 1 for 14 from 3. "That's horrible" to quote Big Red.
RaShid played well in the 1H but kind of disappeared in the 2H.
CU had a stretch where they made 4 3's and turned a 5 pt deficit into a 7 pt lead. X never recovered. Game over.

agree about the three but look at Gaston's line (double-double). You have to throw it to him more
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

CU lived and X died....the only that can make a 3 for X is Tre.
Rest of the team sucks at making 3's right now.
Everyone shot 1-14 from 3.
Hell, you can't even win a 5th grade game shooting 1-14 from 3.
