I wasn't able to watch live. After watching the game on DVR, I don't have much of a problem with the officiating. We sent Colorado to the line a lot by reaching as well as trying to block shots and getting the arm. When we drove to the basket, we tried mostly to slip around defenders and evade contact, and Colorado didn't reach. They did get some blocks by going for them selectively.
What seemed to give us the most trouble on offense was Colorado's aggressive show/trap on screens. I think that's something the coaches can improve our response to.
On defense we had trouble with their quickness, both from their guards (especially Sherrod) and their bigs (I'm thinking mostly Holingshed).
Another equalizing factor was the basic nitty gritty of Colorado hitting shots and Stanford missing.
Anyway, great game by both teams, and I'm just glad the Cardinal won!
