Despite what some wry cynics might say, what makes sports endlessly fascinating to me is the chaos that can occur over a comparatively short single game.
After Thursday’s game, Colorado sits at 2nd in the conference in eFG% in Pac-12 play. Only Stanford has, over the nearly-complete conference schedule, shot the ball better than the Buffs. The Bears are still dead last in the conference. 53.3 vs. 44.8.
But over 40 minutes, those numbers don’t have to mean a whole lot. On Thursday night, Cal put up an eFG% of 54.6 to Colorado’s 45.
