What it means for the future (Analysis):
Colorado gave us a run. I knew they would, they are young, spunky and very hungry. I think they are a legitimate Tourney team as long as they can hold their composure. That being said, we didn't play as well as i hoped. Matt Bouldin looked absolutely horrible in the first half, but turned it on at the end. Elias Harris had one of his first Freshman type games, where at times he looked frustrated and lost on the floor, He did look like a Window Cleaner though, wiping the boards every time a rebound was within range.

Steven Gray, what an enigma you are. At times you look like a full blown superstar, at other times you look like you'd rather be out surfing the waves in Maui, if only your effort matched your talent every time you step on the floor. 27 Points, 50% from the floor and 57% from three, where was this effort against Michigan State? Maybe just maybe you will pull it together and make us proud.

Ive been noticing a startling trend over the last several games, Robert Sacre gets into foul trouble far too quickly. He is quite possibly one of the most dominant big men in the country this year, but he really needs to keep his composure and not make stupid fouls, here's hoping he can keep it together against Wisconsin. GO ZAGS!
