Question for Buff fans

[Buffsfan22]

We're having a small disagreement on a different board as to whether or not Tera and Britt played at the same time in games last season.

I don't recall them doing so, but i did miss the entire LSU road game and maybe one or two others, so i could be wrong.

any help here would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't recall them ever playing in a game at the same time. It seems that I would remember if I were to have witnessed it in person or have seen it on TV. Prior to the season I remember there being talk about it both from fans as well as coaches.

Thanks Mark...turns out someone posted a boxscore from last year's Texas Tech game that showed Tera w/ 19 minutes and Britt w/ 28.(or maybe vice-versa) It came from the official Buffs site. Given those numbers, either the boxscore is wrong (and i watched that game in it's entirety, and i sure don't recall them being on the floor together) or they must have been.

i'm guessing it's a statistical error...if anyone can verify this one way or the other...i'm just really curious now.

thanks again.

Don't remember seeing Hartshorn and Bjorklund on the court at the same time during the Tech game. That was an overtime game. Hartshorn played 26 minutes and Bjorklund played 19 minutes which adds up to 45 between them. I think they just substituted for one another soaking up all the minutes and never played simultaneously, but I could be wrong.

If my memory serves me correctly, I seem to recall seeing them both play at the same time last year. There were times that CU would have a big lineup on the court and I think they were together.

I would bet the farm that they have never played together at the same time. The article in the post was incorrect...I'm sure of it.

Okay I called CU and talked to their sports information director and she confirmed that they have never played at the same time. Yes, they were on the roster at the same time, but at no time, exhibition or otherwise, did they ever take the floor at the same time.

I would bet just about anything that they NEVER played together in either an exhibition, regular season or post season game.

I haven't missed a home game in about 7 years. I also listen to all of the road games on the radio, in addition to making it to 1 or 2 of them a year.

Neither Tera or Britt is adept enough at handling the ball on the perimeter to have played the 4 in the triangle. (Britt was a great passer, but it's tough for a 6'4" player to dribble effectively..unless your name is Nicole Ohlde that is...)

On another note, I can't believe Villanova is not in the Top 25 this week. I think they will challenge for the Big East title this year.

I don't recall seeing Hartshorn and Bjorklund playing in a game at the same time in any of the games that I saw in person last season (all home games, Ft. Collins, KC, and Boise). However, I do remember a situation in which it might have happened in the 00-01 season. It was a home game against a Big-12 opponent (I want to say ISU but I can't be sure), the game was pretty tight from buzzer to buzzer and CU was protecting a slim lead in the final minute of the game. The opposing team was of course taking every opportunity to foul and stop the clock. When CU had possession they used a lineup of mostly guards - Nightingale, Roulier, Koechlin, etc. After the first foul shot they would then sub in a lineup of mostly frontcourt players. Hartshorn and Bjorklund may have been on the floor simultaneously in that situation. That is about the only time that I can think of when it could have happened.

On Villanova: They were impressive. Very disciplined, patient, and well coached. I think they will make some noise in the Big East this year.

fwiw...the person i was having this disagreement has owned up to her error.

kate dawg...your farm is safe.

thanks to all in your help in clearing up this question.
