Forced up a tough shot inside against 2 defenders with plenty of time on the shot clock when the game was tied, then didn't box out when Denver took the lead with 21 seconds left and the guy he should have boxed out tipped in a miss to give DU the lead. Then missed a corner 3 that cost the Pokes the game. Pokes severely undermanned now with Maldonado going down and the Redding suspension, our biggest player on the floor got 1 rebound. I know he's a freshman and will improve a lot, but need to see a lot more in the rebounding department from Thompson going forward.

Outrebounded by 19.... difference in the game. Out shot Denver, attempted more FTs, had 8 fewer turnovers, but 13 offensive rebounds for DU equaled more opportunities=loss. Also credit to Denver for going 15-15 at the foul line.

AJ, Porter and Johnson better start finguring stuff out so they can provide some meaningful minutes. I feel like AJ is almost there. He has flashes just needs to be consistant and more under control. Liked his on ball defense.

Thompson on defense could take a charge but that is about it. Really like his offensive game but needs to figure it out on the defensive end. We needed better effort on the boards last night(understatement)

I'm torn on burning redshirts. We may need the bodies but it sounds like people that have seen them, that Young isn't ready to play and if Maldo can get his back figured out and Ny can come back then he probably won't play much during conference(not to mention if Naughton can get healthy) but if those 3 don't get things worked out we will need some bodies.
