Feels like a "trap game" to me. Roadie with little prep time after Saturday night. Decent team with losses but almost all were close games against good teams. Will be very happy to get out of Tulsa with a win but I'm very concerned.

Not to mention Northwestern on deck. A trap game for sure.

Should be a good game, Tulsa is athletic and we struggle with athletic teams. Looking at their record you would think the Jays should roll but this will be close.

First one to 70 wins! And I think that will be the Jays!

These next 2 games are HUGE for the Jays! :Yea!:

:Cheers:

Tulsa has the talent to win this game if CU doesn't bring it. They have some shooters and good size inside. Not sure Tulsa is the most disciplined team around, but they'll be tough. The good news is you won't have to worry about a hostile crowd. There may be about 3000 there if they get a good showing.

Tulsa shouldn't be a trap game. Tulsa's strengths are where CU is most vulnerable. Tulsa has lots of size and a huge inside presence. They rebound well. In the St. Joe's game, CU pretty much lost the game in the paint. Tulsa has the players to cause similar problems.

If GMac can't convince his team of that and get them to go in focused, then it's a trap game and TU wins. If the players respect the fact that TU has the potential to exploit CU's vulnerable areas the way St. Joe's did, then it's not a trap game - it's just another game in a stretch of difficult games.

42-34 CU up at the half. GE played about 2 minutes (2 fouls). Dougie putting on a clinic right now. Both teams shooting well.
