    Steinbach is the real deal. Great touch inside, makes quick passes from the post to ready shooters. Yates is a fine player. Played tight defense, had a few steals, high end athlete. Petersen played for the first time ina month last night and was a bulldog. Tough defender, high motor, good shooter. Zoom was a little sloppy with the ball but can get to the rim almost any time he wants. Missed some bunnies, could have scored 18 had he made them. Sommerville is a thick dude. Great, tall body to rotate in. Has surprising touch at the FT line. Mandaquitt will be a great guard by the end of the year. He had 8 assists but missed almost all his shots. That won’t happen all year. Bryson Tucker, the former 5* transfer from Indiana was great. High energy, 10 points10 rebounds. Kid can really jump. Sprinkle getting him to play with that much effort is impressive. I think that was the knock on him at Indiana. Team had 53 rebounds and 21 assists. Still playing without Claude and Ognacevic. Nitu was a healthy scratch. Sounds like he has decided to redshirt himself, Sprink sounded pissed after the game. Odd decision. Good start overall. This is the type of game in the past where UW wins by 7 with a late run and deep down you already know they’ll struggle the rest of the year. They dominated from the tip.

    The early sentiment seems to be 99% that the people want a separate but equal UW hoops board.

    And Hop's star started to fade exactly when Matisse Thybulle, a once in a generation college zone defense player graduated.
