Buffs may have found something in loss to Wyoming

Much better.

CU may not have won Sunday and hey, that's still the objective but they didn't get buried as they did against New Mexico and Air Force, hardly looking competitive.

What's important is that Ricardo Patton's last team learned something about how to play the final minutes of a game.

Giving up a layup late, well, not acceptable.

That the Buffs were in the game late is definite progress.

You knew Wyoming was going to shoot it out and they did but CU mostly matched them as Dominique Coleman and Richard Roby combined for 34 points. I think the Buffs will take that most nights, don't you?

Unfortunately, Brandon Ewing and Brad Jones teamed up for 46.

Defense?

Think we've been over this before.

See the earlier post today about Wichita State coach Mark Turgeon. His team's survive only because they play defense.

Jermyl Jackson-Wilson (pictured) again looked like a man to me with 16 points and 14 rebounds. If Coleman, Roby and Jackson-Wilson can go into some dark room and agree to take over this team and pledge to become consistent, that's one fine trio to take the court with each day.

Develop Kal Bay at the point guard position, find a shooter off the bench and beg, bribe, do whatever to get someone to play to their size down low and CU could still develop into something interesting.

Patton can still leave one lasting positive impression on this progam. Develop those guys and create chemistry and at least consider defense as part of the practice routine and who knows what might happen.

Hey, it could happen.

Right?
