If you've been watching the game so far and did not know which team was which, you'd have to conclude that Brown was the squad from a major conference.
They are making life very difficult for Colorado on defense. Very physical.

Colorado’s Offenceis finally showing up a little bit. We need to hit a few more threes. But PN is correct on our defense.

This is the path for Brown to succeed this year -- the shooting against UNC was a fluke, they're not going to keep up with good teams in the 80s, but can win ugly games like today's.

A little too ugly in the end. Great effort. But you can’t win when your frontcourt goes 2-16. I mean hit a frigging shot. But Colorado was absolutely suffocating on defense.
Defensively it’s the best effort I can remember. They had a real good team very confused defensively.
LET'S go BRU-no (duh. nuh. nuh-nuh-nuh) |

A great defensive effort, especially for their third game in four days against some good competition. Was especially good to see them make adjustments and hang around with the Buffs after getting sucked into a higher tempo affair against Creighton.
Would love to see us go 5-0 or 4-1 in this next stretch of games, as our opponents are all in our general Kenpom neighborhood. The defense looks like it's beginning to come together - if Choh can get closer to his usual self on offense, I really like our chances for the rest of this season.

I share your optimism ET, I think we are a better shooting team that we showed in the tournament. I am not ready to make game-to-game projections yet.
