"Colorado has been pathetic on the road in its past two Big 12 games, and Baylor is not a tough environment to steal one. "

Reality check for the Bearpit.

Gottlieb is a very good analyst. Coming from where he does, he's one of few ESPN commentators/analysts who are aware of basketball outside the East Coast and Big Ten.

Though on a whole, ESPN's college basketball coverage is better and more knowledgeable than their college football coverage. I guess there's less pressure for them to pimp ten programs and no one else.

Agree with Loubreau - add point that unlike football, college Bball has 300+ teams. Analysts must look further afield than the usual money-generating 10. Reason is simple: 22 football starters, 5 bball starters. 1 blue chipper decides to attend a non-powerhouse BBall program, and suddenly that team is on the map. Put 1 blue chipper on a non-powerhouse football team, and the team will improve, but can still be beaten by a powerhouse team that let 1 or 2 big fish slip away. In economic terms, barriers to entry in the basketball world are lower, making duopolies harder to establish and maintain.

I really thought based on our opponent today that this would be a "Game. Blouses!" comment.
