5th-seeded Colorado listed as a five-point favorite over 12th-seeded Georgetown. Thoughts?
  • Sounds about right. The Buffs are the better team, but it's tournament time, and anything can happen. If the Buffs win by a few points ... that's just fine with me (61%, 167 Votes)
  • My concern is that Georgetown is just like Oregon State - a team which was playing with nothing to lose in its conference tournament, and which will come to Indianapolis with plenty of confidence (25%, 70 Votes)
  • Just bias against the Buffs for not being a "name" school. Georgetown had a good tournament run, and a name coach, but this is a 13-12 team. Buffs will be hungry, and will take care of business (14%, 39 Votes)

Colorado a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament, to take on No. 12 Georgetown. Thoughts?
  • Highest seed in Colorado history! Well done, Buffs!! Seeding is well deserved, and I predict the Buffs will take out the Hoyas on Saturday! (47%, 154 Votes)
  • Georgetown fought its way into the Dance by running through the Big East tournament (like Oregon State did in the Pac-12). A tough matchup for the Buffs as the Hoyas have momentum and confidence (33%, 108 Votes)
  • It would have been nice if the CBS announcers hadn't predicted an upset right from the start. Buffs didn't even get to enjoy the moment before being pointed to as an upset victim (20%, 69 Votes)

Buffs fall, 70-68, to Oregon State in the Pac-12 title game. Thoughts?
  • The Beavers played like a team of destiny (as the Buffs did in 2012). All you can do is congratulate Oregon State, learn from the loss, and get ready for the Big Dance (56%, 146 Votes)
  • The Buffs had one of their best chances ever (only third conference title game in school history) to pull off a conference title, and blew it. This one will hurt for some time (31%, 80 Votes)
  • I just hope that the rest of the Pac-12 sends CU a "thank you" card for getting the conference an extra $300K or so (every year for the next six years) for getting a fifth team into the Big Dance. (13%, 33 Votes)

A D'Schawn Schwartz putback of a McKinley Wright miss with 3.3 seconds to play gives CU a 72-70 win over No. 24 USC. Thoughts?
  • Survive and advance! The Buffs take out tournament-bound USC for the third time this year, and have a chance at their second Pac-12 title! Go get the championship, Buffs! (75%, 237 Votes)
  • I'm just happy for seniors D'Shawn Schwartz and McKinley Wright, who teamed up (albeit unwittingly) on a finish which Buff fans will be talking about for years (14%, 44 Votes)
  • That sound you hear is my heart beating again after the Buffs allow the Trojans to tie the game with a 14-2 run in the final four minutes. Great win ... but it didn't need to come down the wire (11%, 33 Votes)

Buffs overcome early deficit, build a double-digit lead, then hang on for a 60-57 win over Cal. Thoughts?
  • On a day when UCLA was forced into overtime (and lost) and USC was forced into double overtime (before winning), any win is a good win. Survive and advance! (73%, 210 Votes)
  • Tough to have a play a game which ends past midnight (thanks, Pac-12!). Guess it's just as well the nation didn't get to see CU almost blow a nine-point lead in the final 48 seconds (18%, 53 Votes)
  • Thank goodness the Buffs were playing the last place team in the conference. Any other opponent and the Buffs' Pac-12 tournament would be over after one game for the second straight season. Lucky! (9%, 26 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
