As expected (by me), this is a different Colorado team. They are bigger, stronger, more athletic, more talented. Relphorde, Hornbuckle, and Burks are legit players and they have made Colorado much better.
I saw CU play a lot last year, and this is a much different team. They can shoot really well, they are all good passers, they are athletic, they have a couple of star caliber players with Cory Higgins and Alec Burks. Burks is going to go down as a huge recruiting blunder for Mike Anderson, because he is legit. Bzdelik has been saying he is better than Roby at this point, and from what I have seen I have to agree. He is a tremendous talent.
They play 1-3-1 zone and were flying all over the place on defense.... They put Burks at the top of it like OU used to do with Selvy. He is 6'6'' with a huge wingspan. They trap the corners, trap the post, etc. They couldnt do that last year because they werent deep or athletic enough.
Last night they jumped out to a 30-6 lead on Fang and the boys, and were up 73-33 at one point.. They didnt do that last year against anyone.
We will see how they do in Maui against a rebuilding Gonzaga team, but that game is going to be interesting.
