Same game. They are playing a zone and daring us to shoot 3's which cause easy transition. When did Gates turn into a 2 guard. We will be out of the 25 shortly. A poor shooting team should not keep shooting 3's

Simply put - Gates is playing poorly.
Bigs can't make a shot past 2 feet. Although got to give Gates credit for his post moves tonight. He has played well so far.
Look at ESPN's shot chart.
X has made zero shots outside the paint but inside the 3 pt line. Zero shots.
No one can make a mid range jumper which is the open shot against a zone if you move the ball.

X extends lead to 7 but CU cuts it back to 4 at the 14:55 mark.
Conference of Champions is a frequent reference by the PAC 12 announcers.

Love all of Red's quotes from the Wizard of Westwood.

3 fouls on JP

2nd TO for Q. Not a good night for him so far.

[muskieman]

47-42 X needs to score the ball more and CU needs to go cold

[muskieman]

Cu on run now up by one and X's O looks suspect again

[mumuskie87]

Back to back 3's by CU puts them in front 48-47 with just over 8 to play

[muskieman]

now up by 4 and X cold as ice

[muskieman]

X getting one shot and no O rebounds.
