CU Buffs lock up invite to NCAA tournament Big Dance with 12 point win over Kansas State

By Michael RobertsMarch 10, 2011

Apparently, no one ever told the CU Buffs how hard it is to beat a quality team three times in the same season. Because moments ago, they did just that, pulling away late to defeat Kansas State by twelve points in the Big 12 tournament quarter finals. An invitation to…

Carmelo Anthony trade drama harder for George Karl to deal with than cancer? (VIDEO)

By Michael RobertsMarch 10, 2011

Fresh off signing a three-year contract extension, Nuggets coach George Karl appeared on ESPN’s PTI yesterday in the segment dubbed “Five Good Minutes” — and good they were. At one point in the clip, on view below, he admitted that the drawn-out Carmelo Anthony trade process was “probably the hardest…

University of Northern Colorado Bears, Devon Beitzel punch Big Dance ticket via Montana win

By Michael RobertsMarch 10, 2011

They did it. The University of Northern Colorado Bears received their Big Dance invite before the CU Buffs thanks to a solid 65-60 win over Montana in last night’s Big Sky championship. And UNC may be a tougher first-round out than most experts believe for one big reason: Devon Beitzel…

CU Buffs dance team photo gallery: Can they make the Big 12 tournament feel like home?

By Michael RobertsMarch 9, 2011

Update: The Colorado Buffs’ push to March Madness took a big step forward today via a 77-75 win over Iowa State in Kansas City. If they can defeat Kansas State tomorrow, they’re a lock. And what can make the far-away gym where they’ll play feel like home? Dancers! Look below…

University of Northern Colorado Bears one win from NCAA Big Dance: Watch out, Montana

By Michael RobertsMarch 9, 2011

Yesterday, we noted that the University of Northern Colorado Bears might have a clearer path to March Madness than do the higher-profile CU Buffs — and last night’s exciting 73-70 victory over Northern Arizona leaves the Bears one victory from the Big Dance. A win over Montana tonight and they’re…

CU Buffs could be passed by University of Northern Colorado on road to NCAA Big Dance

By Michael RobertsMarch 8, 2011

We confess. We’ve been paying so much attention to the CU Buffs’ chances of taking part in March Madness that we’ve given short shrift to the University of Northern Colorado Bears. UNC’s had a mighty impressive season — one that’s earned the squad a marginally easier route to the Big…

CU Buffs must beat both Iowa State and Kansas State again to reach NCAA Big Dance? (VIDEO)

By Michael RobertsMarch 7, 2011

Earlier this season, we declared this year’s CU Buffs to be the school’s best since Chauncey Billups’s glory days after defeating Missouri and Kansas State in quick succession. But will the Buffs have to knock off K-State for a third time this season in order to take part in a…

Nuggets 5-1 after Carmelo Anthony trade thanks to epic fail by Jazz’s Andrei Kirilenko (VIDEO)

By Michael RobertsMarch 4, 2011

One of the many Carmelo Anthony trade scenarios would have brought Utah’s Andrei Kirilenko to Denver. Obviously, that deal never happened — and good thing given Kirilenko’s missed buzzer beater from two inches away last night, which handed the Nugs a 103-101 win. In our post yesterday, we noted that…

Carmelo Anthony: Win over Bobcats begs question, “Are Nugs better off without him?”

By Michael RobertsMarch 3, 2011

Even the most optimistic among us probably didn’t think the Nuggets would win four of five following the Carmelo Anthony trade, let alone that the latest margin of victory (versus the Bobcats) would be forty points. But that’s reality: Denver is playing its best basketball of the season with Melo…

Raymond Felton gives Ty Lawson run for his money in Nuggets win over Atlanta Hawks

By Michael RobertsMarch 1, 2011

Who’da thunk the Nuggets would be playing so well following the Carmelo Anthony trade? And each night, it seems as if another new Nug steps up. Against the Boston Celtics, Wilson Chandler shone — and in last night’s 100-90 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Raymond Felton demonstrated his value in…

Carmelo Anthony: ESPN’s Jason Smith criticizes Melo even after Knicks’ epic win over Heat

By Michael RobertsFebruary 28, 2011

While much of America suffered through an ultra-dull Oscar ceremony, NBA Nation was riveted by a contest between the loaded Miami Heat and the Carmelo Anthony-Chauncey Billups supplemented New York Knicks. In the end, the Knicks triumphed 91-86, with Anthony dropping 29 on LeBron and company. So why did ESPN…

Greg Pankewicz: Colorado Eagles assistant coach suspended for angry strip tease (VIDEO)

By Michael RobertsFebruary 25, 2011

What with the Carmelo Anthony trade, the Chauncey Billups apology and the triumphant debut of the new-look Nuggets, you may have missed one of the most memorable sports stories of the week — the season-long suspension of Colorado Eagles assistant Greg Pankewicz for demonstrating his anger by stripping to the…

Wilson Chandler, other Knicks-turned-Nuggets, check their egos to beat Celtics: Still miss Melo?

By Michael RobertsFebruary 25, 2011

Chauncey Billups may have been more valuable than Carmelo Anthony in their first game for the Knicks since the blockbuster Melo trade — but Anthony got all the love. And the new Nuggets acquisitions, including Juggernaut-tattoo-wearing Wilson Chandler? They debuted versus the Boston Celtics last night and played a frantic…

Carmelo Anthony, La La Vazquez to star in VH1 reality show that starts with leaving Denver

By Melanie AsmarFebruary 24, 2011

On top of the news that Carmelo Anthony and his glitzy wife La La Vazquez have left Denver (and the Nuggets) for New York (and the Knicks) came the news that the couple will star in their own VH1 reality television show, La La’s Full Court Life. The subject?…

Chauncey Billups: Could he be most valuable Knicks add in Carmelo Anthony trade? (VIDEO)

By Michael RobertsFebruary 24, 2011

The Nuggets issued an apology to Chauncey Billups after dealing him to the New York Knicks as part of the Carmelo Anthony trade — and he probably deserves another one from the New York media, which treated him like a virtual afterthought at yesterday’s intro press conference, viewable below. But…

Chauncey Billups gets apology from Nuggets, Josh Kroenke — but will fans accept it?

By Michael RobertsFebruary 23, 2011

For fans, the most painful part of the Carmelo Anthony trade was watching Chauncey Billups, a hometown hero who made no secret of his desire to stay in Denver, get dragged to New York in order to help fulfill Melo’s big-time fantasies. Understanding that, Nuggets president Josh Kroenke (son of…

Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Timofrey Mozgov, Danilo Gallinari: Meet new Nuggets

By Michael RobertsFebruary 22, 2011

The Carmelo Anthony trade — the one Melo couldn’t talk about yet on Conan last night — brought four new players to your Denver Nuggets. Of course, some may be dealt for draft picks. So hurry to get info on Knicks-turned-Nugs Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Timofrey Mozgov and Danilo Gallinari…

Carmelo Anthony on Conan: Melo rejected Denver but still loves Denver omelettes (VIDEO)

By Michael RobertsFebruary 22, 2011

The biggest clue that Carmelo Anthony would be traded yesterday? The Nuggets allowed him to skip practice in order to appear on last night’s edition of Conan. The result was some mighty strange TV, since the interview was taped before Anthony could talk about the deal, but aired after news…

Carmelo Anthony traded: ESPN celebrates NY Knicks, doesn’t give sh*t about Denver Nuggets

Last night, the Knicks finally closed a deal for Carmelo Anthony and (damn it!) Chauncey Billups, as well as Anthony Carter, Renaldo Balkman and Shelden Williams. But while the Denver Post is talking up what the Nugs received in return, the national press is already writing off D-town’s ballers for…

Carmelo Anthony trade: Offer to Knicks a joke? Nets really back in game? Nenê to Houston?

By Michael RobertsFebruary 17, 2011

Anyone thinking the Carmelo Anthony trade-go-round couldn’t spin faster were wrong. The latest? The Nuggets’ compensation demand for Melo and Chauncey Billups was reportedly so crazy that it spurred disbelief; the Nets, who’d pulled out of the Anthony sweepstakes, are interested again; and Nenê is said to be on the…
