They are calling it tight out top. CSU doesn't go inside much so you can't really say CSU is getting away with more than we are down low

Someone that is a physical type, even it that person was'nt a 5 their 3 or 4 needs to be more of a banger, too much of PERIMETER type team.
Coronado is a man in the post, he's just got no touch under any circumstances. I'd love to see a tally on how many layups he's missed this season.
Coronado is the rick mahorn type, where he does the dirty work, as far as rebounding and some fouls but to compliment the others then someone needs to be another dominant scorer, not being so reliant on guard scoring, JCS looks to dribble penetrate but gets to deep and then no low post threat has to kick all the way back out for a 3 would be nice to have another option as well, one low and one high

What a left handed finish by Smith.

Shooting is starting to pick up for us. Hopefully we can survive not having Coronado on the boards for most of the 2nd half. Someone needs to teach JVP a basic jump hook so he'll stop trying scoop shots against guys 4"-5" shorter than him.

CSU has scored 11 points off those costly turnovers.
I'd take 5 TO's with 10 minutes left any day. 1 TO per 4 minutes, or less like today, is a pretty good pace. Kudos to CSU for taking advantage of every one of our TO's.

JVP gets hacked again and yet another no call by the refs. Not sure the refs are aware they're allowed to call fouls on CSU in the post.
So that block foul that went our way completely escaped you?

agreed...with how spread out they have been CSU hasnt been able to use them to shift the momentum to their side as of yet...course missing a ton of shots which could have tied or changed the lead doesnt help their cause either
