Comments Off on Denver falls to 2-8 with loss, but coach remains confident in “Chase’s team”
Denver opened up an 11-point first-half lead over favored Portland of the WCC, but allowed it to quickly evaporate, then faded down the stretch as the Pilots’ hot shooting led them to a 71-64 win at Magness Arena. Pioneers head coach Joe Scott said the offense played well, but “our defense let us down,” expressing frustration with the team’s inability… Read more »

BREAKING: The United States Senate is a detestable pile of horse manure
