Coach Talk

Scott Hors d'oeuvres
Hey, it's good to be confident, Scott Hors d'oeuvres. Deploying a player with zero points (Phillip Dorsett II), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
CUBuffs21
Listen, CUBuffs21, we've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points can just miraculously appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, okay... hoping for an additional 14 points might be a bit excessive.
