Rate your level of excitement for CU's (presumed) invitation to the NIT ...
- Medium. This is a young team, and any chance to get some extra playing time against decent competition would be welcome as we start looking towards the 2022-23 season (50%, 126 Votes)
- High. The Buffs are almost assured of a home game. It would be great for Evan Battey to get one (or two) more curtain calls before the home fans (34%, 85 Votes)
- Low. Like the players, the NIT is looked upon as extra work for little extra reward. I would follow CU's results, but wouldn't be too invested in the outcome (16%, 40 Votes)

Buffs fall to No. 2 Arizona, 82-72, in the Pac-12 semi-finals. Thoughts?
- It was a tough ask to beat the No. 2 team in the nation twice in two weeks. Disappointed, but no one can say they are surprised. CU is the fourth-best team in the Pac-12, which isn't bad (64%, 130 Votes)
- At least with the win over Oregon, the Buffs should be a lock to get at least one NIT home game - a much better way for Evan Battey to go out than with the tough game he had against Arizona (25%, 51 Votes)
- Buffs and their fans are going to look back at this one as one which got away. You can miss that many opportunities against a quality opponent and expect to win. Woulda, coulda shoulda (11%, 21 Votes)

Buffs defeat Oregon, 80-69, to advance to semi-finals matchup against No. 2 in the Pac-12 tournament. Thoughts?
- I'm just enjoying how the past month has played out. The men's team has won eight of their last nine; the women's team has won six of their last seven. Well done, Buffs! (52%, 152 Votes)
- A great team win. Knocking the Ducks out of the Pac-12 tournament (and the NCAA tournament) feels good. The Buffs have what it takes to pull off another upset against Arizona - Go Buffs! (38%, 113 Votes)
- Enjoy it while it lasts. Up next is No. 2 Arizona (Friday, 7:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). A real shame that Stanford didn't pull off the upset, because the Wildcats will be ready for revenge (10%, 29 Votes)

Buffs to take on 5th-seeded Oregon in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals (Thursday, 3:30 p.m., MT). Thoughts?
- Buffs have been on a roll lately, while the Ducks have been struggling. Without leading scorer Will Richardson, Oregon is vulnerable. Buffs advance to the semi-finals! (39%, 88 Votes)
- If the Stanford/Arizona State game taught us anything (a 16-1 run in the final three minutes to take out the Sun Devils, 71-70), there are no guarantees once you hit tournament play. Fingers crossed (37%, 83 Votes)
- Dana Altman has the best winning percentage in Pac-12 tournament history for a reason. Wounded Ducks are dangerous ... and still very talented. I'm very concerned about this game (24%, 54 Votes)

Bracketology has CU with a No. 3 seed in the NIT. Thoughts on playing in the NIT, with potential home games?
- Let's cross that bridge when we get there. For now, the Buffs are the No. 4 seed, and have a real chance at a Pac-12 title. Fingers crossed for Pac-12 title No. 2 (70%, 171 Votes)
- Actually, I think that with this young team, a home game or two in the NIT wouldn't be a bad springboard for the 2022-23 season (not to mention more standing O's for the seniors) (24%, 59 Votes)
- Nope. Not going there. Evan Battey said in his interview that the team wasn't all that excited to play in the NIT before, and I doubt they will be interested this year (6%, 16 Votes)

The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
