Monica: The Big 12 is a graveyard of expectations, and right now, the Colorado Buffaloes are standing in the middle of it holding a clipboard that reads '17-15.' But here’s the twist: they just lost to Oklahoma in overtime, and their star guard Isaiah Johnson has already bolted for Texas. Is this team rebuilding, or is it collapsing under its own weight? That is exactly what we are breaking down today.
Frank: It’s a chaotic moment for Boulder. You have a new strategic mind in Derrick White, but you also have a roster that looks fundamentally different than it did six months ago. The question isn't just about wins and losses; it's about identity. Are they going to play fast, or are they going to grind it out with fewer options at the point guard spot?
