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.
-
I had to do a double take, but Thybulle has made nearly $50M by being a defensive specialist which is both absurd and awesome.
-
So great for him!
Buys a lot of camera equipment.

He is in the twilight of his career and once he left UW he was coaching more to coach than earn a living. He’s a teacher and doesn’t need the $ but I’m not surprised he’s just coaching especially in the climate with NIL and the transfer portal. He went the Chip Kelly route being a coach rather than the CEO, although fired from his last two gigs. I’ll always appreciate Romar while our football program was in the wilderness, those Roy and IT years were pretty damn fun!

If that's too much effort, I liked Knowledge's idea of a megathread.

maybe the thread is pinned in the 3rd spot.

Gotta like UW responding everyone Denver tried to make a game of it. Steinbach had an off night, 7 scored in double figures. UW gets Desmond Claude back in 2 weeks who might be the most talented player they have in terms of scoring. Big boys up next on the road

Apple cup of basketball in Pullman next weekend whos driving over to the Palouse where my dawgs at

Another 19 assists as a team to go with the 21 assists from Monday. I want to say they averaged around 11 assists as a team last year. Defensively they aren’t there yet. Maybe they won’t get there, but so far offensively they are a much more pleasing team to watch than they’ve been in years.
