In a home game that I, frustratingly, had to miss, the Denver Pioneers improved to 2-0 in Sun Belt play with an overtime win over Arkansas-Little Rock. DU gave up a late 10-point lead, then rallied from 4 down in OT to pull out the victory. I’ll have more later on both this game and Thursday’s Sun Belt opener.

DU Bally and I are off to Magness Arena for the Pioneers’ first Sun Belt game of the season. Beat ULL! Also, it’s snowing!
The Denver Pioneers wrapped up their nonconference schedule Tuesday with a 4-9 record — and perhaps more importantly, a 2-game winning streak — as they won 73-55 over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, in a game that was actually far more lopsided than the final score. “This sends us off to Christmas Break the right way,” said Coach Joe Scott after the game….

Denver will attempt to build on the momentum of Saturday’s big win over Northern Colorado — which felt like a breakthrough for the struggling Pioneers — when it hosts winless Arkansas-Pine Bluff (0-10, RPI #263, BBState #315) tonight at Magness Arena. I can’t find a point spread online, perhaps because Vegas can’t be bothered to adjudicate between two such bad… Read more »
Big, big home win for the Pioneers tonight, who improved to 3-9 with their most complete performance of the season, beating a decent Northern Colorado team 71-68. I’ll have more to say about it tomorrow (hopefully).
“You are what your record says you are” is a truism in sports, first uttered by Bill Parcells, and repeated countless times by countless other coaches. But on Tuesday night, in a radio interview after a road loss to a not-very-good Wyoming team (4-6, RPI #295) dropped Denver to 2-9, coach Joe Scott offered a different perspective.

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 »
Although college football’s regular season is over (*sniff*), It’s going to be another busy Saturday afternoon/evening of sports here at The Living Room Times and Pioneer Pulse, with the Denver-Portland game at 4:00 PM Mountain Time, followed by the Heisman Trophy ceremony from 6-7, and a favorite team vs. alma mater battle, Gonzaga-Notre Dame, starting at 6:30. All three will… Read more »
As if Denver didn’t have enough to worry about on the basketball court, the expected bad news about its planned future conference home has become official: Hawaii is leaving the WAC to join the Mountain West in football and the Big West in all other sports. Folks, Denver joined a zombie conference. Hawaii’s departure does more than just rob the… Read more »
