The timing of the game I am most concerned about is CO, because we play UCLA on Monday and have to travel to play them on a Thursday.  CO plays Sunday so they have an advantage.  The end of the season being so compressed going into the grind of the P-12 tournament is not ideal.

Would anyone guess what day Stanford would arrive in Boulder since the game is on a Thursday?  No matter how conditioned our players are; it's at sea level.  I don't know if a 1-day practice on Wednesday is enough time to acclimate the team to a 7,000+' altitude.  I know it's a different sport, but when I used to race long distance, I needed almost a week to acclimate.  If only 1 day, that may impact our starters in the 4th. quarter.
