Blame the Wildcats' fan appeal (and COVID) on why they only played one game in three weeks earlier this season.
Bruce Pascoe Arizona Daily Star LAS VEGAS -- Colorado has won eight of its past nine games, including a 79-63 win over second-ranked Arizona, and finished 12-8 in the Pac-12 to finish in fourth place.In fact, of the 133 bracket projections compiled by the Bracket Matrix, Colorado was mentioned only once -- by a website that is, believe it or not, called"All My Sports Teams Suck."
"I hope the committee is smarter than the people that are putting that thing together. But, look, I can't sit here and pound the table for Colorado because we lost to Southern Illinois. We had ten losses. Lloyd was only available for comment before Colorado beat Oregon 80-69 so he took the expected route in addressing questions about the next game. The Ducks lost to Arizona just 84-81 on Feb. 19 in what might have been the most entertaining game of the Wildcats' season so far.
"I'm going to give them some credit," Lloyd said."They made some shots normally you would live with. Then they started making enough of them, so we had to make some adjustments in our coverages, and that's how these games go. The Wildcats' popularity might have hurt them during the Pac-12 rescheduling efforts earlier this season.
"We had to take into account what the facilities looked like, not exclusively, but whether there were fans there or not certainly was a factor," said Jamie Zaninovich, who oversees men's basketball scheduling as the Pac-12's deputy commissioner."We want our games to look good when they're on television and we want to give our schools an opportunity to maximize their commercial value and have fans attending their games on campus.

Republicans Wrongly Blame Biden for Rising Gas PricesWASHINGTON — As gas prices hit a high this week, top Republican lawmakers took to the airwaves and the floors of Congress with misleading claims that pinned the blame on President Joe Biden and his energy policies.
