From CKS postgame, Sampson talks about getting healthy and mentions Javier and Sharp. No mention of Walker. Are they trying to get him a medical redshirt? Is that even possible?

As long as he hasn’t played in more than 30% of reg season gms. Not sure of # gms he played b4 injury

He’s played in 8 games

He should be good then. 8 ÷31 = 25% est

Only question would be if they count gms against you that you didn’t play bc of Coach decision and no play occurred b4 injury.
Its close for sure.

Colorado, Saturday will be at altitude. Boulder over 5,400 ft above sea level. And we have a big Monday game with Baylor after Colorado. Will be interesting to see how we handle and if CKS substitutes differently with a shorter bench. Hoping Javier is able to return.

Totally dislike Big12 scheduling Saturday- Monday games for ESPN Monday showdown or whatever they call it.
Really worried about Baylor game on a very short turnaround… no practice time between after CU game

Baylor will have same situation. Game at Home - Saturday afternoon. Then will have a 3+ hr bus trip Sunday afternoon to Houston.

That was our worst game of the year last night. The energy and the body language was off.

You would expect a great performance on Saturday but it is at elevation with a short bench.

I’ll be in Boulder for the game! Go Coogs

Part of it was guys getting used to a new rotation, but they were clearly tired from a long couple of weeks.

Plus, they are at least as banged up as we are. No excuses.

More to do w all the Yucky gms are on ESPN+, more than good fortune.

That is one plus to plus. At some point, TV needs to adjust the game windows from 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes. Every game bleeds over sometime 10 minutes into the next one. Either that or limit the number of replays that take all the flow out of the end of games.
