Good win in spite of some piss poor shooting. The ability to turn it on from the line and behind the arc in the last three minutes was huge. NWG and Andrews need to shoot more.
At this point the Oklahoma game would just be gravy, successful non conference result either way (barring a big time upset) Tulane is probably the 2nd best team left and they were uncompetitive vs Wake forest
Pretty damn good win. That Eastern team has some serious fucking shooters. This team has clutchness in its genes. NWG and Upsaw are superstars, not being hyperbolic at all. Really Happy Johnson hit that huge 3 down the stretch, I still think he'll be a very good player for us.
If Upshaw hit his throws he would have had like 30+ points too lol
I think he went 3-4 down the stretch, so that was really clutch and hopefully is a sign he can improve.

I think that tight game against UTEP really helped this team during the 2nd half in this game. They have faced some great adversity early in the season and have responded magnificently.

His shot doesn't look fucked up, but he has shot them poorly all season. Hopefully he can get above 50% so that he isn't a complete liability.
Coming back to beat a Little Sky team at home is special.
Something Indiana couldn't do
Too bad for them.
I have barely followed the team since March of 2013 and am just learning some of the players, but it's hard to get real excited. I've seen Romar teams turn it on at the end after a lackluster game, and everyone gets excited. I'm not falling for that again.
So in other words, it's good they won, but it was expected. I'll see how they do vs. pac 12 teams.

EWU probably beats half the pac-12. the huskies are not great but they're probably still 3rd best in the conference
This team is different. Even when they had Ross/Wilcox/Wroten if they were down 8 late I would have 0 confidence they would come back. They would go into desperation mode and start chucking up terrible shots.
Even down 10 late in the game they still looked calm and poised and ran good offense to try and get higher % shots. They missed they got back quick and played good D.
NWG's leadership on the court is his biggest attribute imo.

This. Eastern hit a ton of tough, contested threes, but UW stayed composed the whole time and found a way to win. There has been a lot to feel good about.

Looking at some of the OOC games in conference it appears that it's a year where 5-6 teams could make the tournament: Arizona, UCLA, Utah, California, UW, Colorado, and maybe Oregon or OSU.

Clearly that one was the best
