Well, on the 2nd viewing of this game, I really wasn't as upset. There were some good things to take out of this, and UW made quite a few circus 3's to keep them in it in the 1st half, and it seemed pretty much every break went the Huskies' way (not referring to the officiating, just crazy loose balls that seemed to bounce off our hands and into the purples'). It was evident we had given up with 5 minutes left, which made me upset, given the lineup we had in there.
Are the Huskies that good? I don't think so, but we'll see. Washington had been struggling from beyond the arc for most of the preseason, and then their guards sunk them at nearly a 70% clip against us. I think Tony's gameplan was mostly to pack it in against Brockman, MBA and Pondexter (2 out of 3 ain't bad) and wasn't concerned with the Husky outside shot, and they made us pay for it.
I noticed Harmeling not play the final 15 or so minutes of the game....and it was deserved. Add Pondexter to the seemingly never-ending list of Small Forwards who have abused Daven this season.
Plus/Minus from the game (it ain't pretty)
Harthun -4
Casto -5
Capers -5
Harmeling -6
Koprivica -11
Thompson -14
Forrest -15
Rochestie -18
Baynes -22
Not much left to say. I'm thinking Casto's coming along much faster than we initially anticipated, other than that....I'm at a loss for words. I'll hold my judgement on where we stand after watching the Sunday games.
