"I really don’t care what people expect from us because, at the same time, we know what to expect from us. We have coaches who have high expectations from us. So we don’t really care what outsiders think. I have high expectations for myself and my team, too. So I don’t really care what other people say about us or where they’re projecting us to go because the true fans of Colorado are going to be behind us through the good and the bad."
