Episode 57 of Basketball in the Mountains is live. It's a solo pod for me, reacting to a really good slate of college hoops across the MT time zone yesterday.
Thoughts on wins for Arizona, BYU and Colorado in their Big 12 openers and around the Mountain West.

A handful of transfer portal commitments for the #CUBuffs last night, but the biggest one for Deion Sanders and company so far just came in this morning from San Jose State WR Danny Scudero, a Biletnikoff Award finalist this season (88 catches for 1,291 yards and 10 TDs).

Scoreless 3-on-3 OT period means this one officially ends in a tie. Maine takes the shootout anyway, so a rough first weekend back from the holiday break for DU.
Overtime underway here at Magness Arena as Denver and Maine each scored once in the three periods of regulation. Pios led 3-2 until the Black Bears equalized with under 3 minutes to go. Felt like that goal had been coming as Maine dominated after Eric Pohlkamp's tally for DU.

Pretty encouraging stuff from the #CSURams that half. Played solid defense, although 9 turnovers on offense led to 9 points for the Lopes. Carey Booth the only player in double figures with 10 to go with 8 rebounds.

Freshman guard Isaiah Johnson leads the #CUBuffs with 19 points off the bench, continuing his run as arguably the best bench player in the country. Bangot Dak with a double-double (12 pts, 10 rebs), while Sebastian Rancik goes 12-14 from the FT line to finish with 18 pts.
Final: Colorado 95, Arizona State 89
Thanks to some good defense down the stretch, the #CUBuffs hang on to win their first true road game since the regular season finale at Oregon State in 2024. Tad Boyle's team starts Big 12 play 1-0 and snaps 2-game losing skid. Impressive win for the group.

The Arizona State run has continued as the #CUBuffs now trail, 81-80, for the first time since early in the first half. Sebastian Rancik to the FT line for 2 after the break to try and retake the lead and end a 3 minute scoring drought. Sun Devils just playing harder right now.

#CUBuffs' prolific offensive performance has continued into the second half as Tad Boyle's team is shooting over 56% in the half and lead Arizona State 76-68 with 8:18 left. Buffs already in the double bonus, but Sun Devils star guard Moe Odum starting to heat up (18 pts, 14 in 2nd half).

#CUBuffs playing some excellent defense the last few minutes, forcing turnovers and bad shots. When they're not turning it over themselves, Buffs are making shots offensively, too. CU leads 25-17 with under 8 minutes left in the first half with 2 FTs coming up for Sebastian Rancik.
