Updated Expectations for Colorado Basketball

Coming into the 2016-17 season, some of us in CU media got a bit too hyped for our own good. Some idiot writer even predicted the Buffs would be 18-6 at this point in the season, finish the regular season at 24-7 and make a magnificent run in March to reach the Final Four. Of course, the Buffs have done slightly worse than that, and, of course, that writer was fired for gross incompetency*.

*This writers claims that he was being overly optimistic (perhaps even humorously optimistic) because it kinda worked when he did it for the football team.

Anyway, the Buffs probably won’t get into the NCAA Tournament. I mean, they could, but they would have to win six of their seven final Pac-12 games…
