Game 10: Colorado (AP #20) Tuesday, Dec 10

I don't even want to put it out there, but I'm really hoping that we don't overlook GCU, with such a short turnaround. They're not exactly world beaters this year but that's still a raucous environment and s##t happens. If we get to conference play with only 1 loss I think we'd be sitting pretty.

Sounds like Berhow & Dahl were exceptional tonight. Green, Brown, and Haldeman outstanding as well. Solid contributions from several people.

Beyond some silly turnovers and crappy shots, the team did amazing tonight. Mental toughness to not let games go is really key.

Crazy Stat so far this season: Trae Berhow is 28/40 from 3 pt range in the past 6 games for a blistering 70%.

I think we might be pretty good ya'll.

True. If we snuck up on CU because of their Kansas game, GCU could sneak up on us because of this one.

Berhow is out of this world good at the moment. It’s absolutely amazing how confident that kid is in his shot. Love his energy and attitude. Aj also starting to hit his stride over the last 2 weeks is making this team really good. As I mentioned earlier Dahl has been sooo good this year. That kid worked his ass off and I couldn’t be happier for that young man.

Big Country you made me proud tonight. So many players stepped up. Took some huge shots from Colorado and fought them off. I think we are Colorado state champs now.

Dahl, Pickford, and Kimmons have become a heck of a bench. Kimmons mights not score all the time, but he puts pressure on the defense by driving. I love his energy.

Man, what a great, great win!

It's too bad it didn't work out with my schedule to make it down to Boulder from Steamboat Springs for this one, but I'll take a road win over a ranked team that I can't see in person any day of the week! If nothing else, this is what DVR is made for.

For anyone who could notice on TV or who might have been there live, was there a nice Panther contingent there?

From what I could tell on TV, it looked like there was a decent showing. Not sure how many but it was noticeable.

The only future worry I have, looking at individual players, is Kimmons being somewhat afraid to take the shot. It's not that he can't make 'em, he just doesn't take 'em. At some point teams are going to learn that and pack the paint against him. He doesn't need a Curry or Klay or a Trae Berhow type of night, he just needs to go like 2/7 or something from beyond the arc for one game. Just to force other teams to guard him a little closer, so he can blow by them. It's not a problem yet, but it might be soon. And we're in the awesome awesome position of "every game counts" now, so these things are gonna start to matter.

In the era of transfers, how nice is it to see Dahl having this success as a 5th year senior. Amazing!

I don't know that I'm so worried about it. He's so quick. The first possession when he came in, Wright guard him tight - and Kimmons blew past him. The next possession Wright backed off. Little things like that can change a game imo. With team we have, go ahead and pack the paint - I'm confident he can kick it to one of our shooters and get a good look.

Dahl, with the right matchup, is a real nice piece to have. All the credit in the world to that kid
