Welcome to the Ralphie Report as the Colorado Buffaloes get ready to take on the San Francisco Dons in Boulder, Colorado. The Buffs are looking to extend their home winning streak to 4 in a row against a San Francisco team that has lost their last 4 games, including a 91-75 overtime loss at Colorado State on Sunday night. Football season is now over for our Buffaloes and it is time to throw our full support behind a basketball team that has exceeded our expectations six games into the 2009-2010 season.
From CUBuffs.com:
SERIES WITH SAN FRANCISCO: The Dons lead the all-time series, 2-0. USF took a 34-30 win in Boulder on Dec. 16, 1946, and at the NCAA Tournament Final Four semifinal, 62-50 on March 19, 1955. USF was the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, winning the NCAA championship that season led by Bill Russell and K.C. Jones. The Buffaloes were ranked as high as No. 15.
USF UPDATE: The Dons bring a four-game losing streak into tonight's game and are coming off a double-overtime loss at Colorado State, 91-75. The Rams scored 18 points in the second extra session for their fourth win in six games. USF has defeated Cal Poly and Dominican at home, and have lost on the road to Arizona State (104-65), UC Santa Barbara (76-65) and CSU. They have also lost to Montana State at home (70-66). The Dons are CU's second West Coast Conference school on the schedule (Gonzaga).

Rex Walters is their coach?
That’s cool, I remember seeing him as a kid at coors against the buffs. I liked him, he was a good player.

Call me crazy...
But I took the Buffs -10. Let’s dominate.
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
good luck
hope we do!
nebraskasux - December 1, 2009
did you buy points or was that the line?
Bob_Bell - December 1, 2009
I bought it down from 12.5
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
Glad to see us back in the gray

Typical Monday night crowd.
Got to start filling those seats.
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
CU finally takes the lead 19-18
Halfway through the first half
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
pretty pumped that the game is in HD
Bob_Bell - December 1, 2009
I know, it looks so much better
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
I thought Bzdelik wasn't coaching?
Bob_Bell - December 1, 2009
I dont have the sound on so I didn't even notice.
Glad he’s back though
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
Higgins the man
16 points, perfect from the field
Bob_Bell - December 1, 2009
That play was beautiful
The Buffs are really moving the ball well. Just night and day different from the last few seasons.
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
They still struggle inside but they are much better
Bob_Bell - December 1, 2009
Agreed
But you can actually start to see a light at the end of the tunnel and see that Jeff has a vision to build this team (unlike some others…)
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
bzdelik is the complete opposite of Dan Hawkins
Bob_Bell - December 1, 2009
Should be an interesting season
I think they should at least make the NIT, maybe they sneak in to the NCAA, they are playing very well, hopefully they stay consistent
Broncoman - December 1, 2009
I would be ecstatic
If we got to watch them play in any postseason tournament.
Jon Woods - December 1, 2009
No kidding!
Pretty decent looking squad on the court this year for CU!
Hollidayrain - December 1, 2009
I don't think
there is any way in hell we make the NCAAs but if we finish above .500 and make the NIT this season would be considered a success and a step in the right direction. I think our next game against OSU is a really important statement game. The rest of our non-conference home games should be wins but if we can beat OSU and Tulsa on the road it would be a good sign that we could beat a few of the lower level Big 12 teams.
I still don’t like our rebounding (especially offensive), but we looked pretty good this game.
nebraskasux - December 2, 2009
good win!
So Biz coached?
CleBUFFS - December 1, 2009 via mobile
He sure did
