Perhaps the best part of this game was that it was close at the end.
Playing under pressure like that against a Top 100 RPI team will certainly help this team mature come Pac-12 conference play. -
This goes down as a decent resume win. UTEP should challenge for the CUSA title and be a tourney team.
Actually impressed how we weathered the storm with the 2 bigs on the bench. And somehow still won with Durant Jr missing 6-7 at close range in the paint. -

Is it worrisome that we seem to foul every trip down the court?
Its a decent win, but we have an enormous amount of holes on this team.
NWG and Andrews make a nice backcourt. If they play great we have a chance. They arent getting nearly enough help, and what happened to our bench players? -
This is one of the best benches UW has ever had under Romar. Upshaw is a beast, Dorsey is good, and Winters and Johnson are capable of having good games.BayDawg said:Is it worrisome that we seem to foul every trip down the court?

I need to see them play more before knowing for sure if they are good, but the team looks better than expected so far. -
Andrews is a decent player. He is the type of player though where you will only remember the times he fucks up. You can't teach confidence like he has and it is better than being a talented player who is a huge pussy in crunch time.
And NWG could be one of the greatest husky players ever if he stays all 4 years which I find highly unlikely. Can't teach his IQ and feel of the game. I can't believe we were one of the few D1 schools to offer him as chilly just because he isnt a freak athlete. -
They look NIT caliber. I'm still not sold on anything more than that at this point. Arizona is really good and I don't know jack about the other 10 P 12 teams. I won't really care until January 5th either.

B-Roy was also a better defender, a better athlete, could finish through contact, could score from anywhere on the floor, and he was TUFF. Goss is a PG, yet he has inferior handles to Brandon fucking Roy.
NWG is closer to Abdul Gaddy than B-Roy.
NWG had a good game, but JFC he ain't B-Roy. Not by a LONG shot.
Check ya self. -

Goss will never be the basketball player than Brandon Roy was as a senior. Hell, there might not be a player in college basketball who will ever be as good as Brandon Roy was as a senior.
But there's a pretty damn good argument that Goss is a better player than Roy was as a sophomore. I was about the biggest Gaddy apologist anywhere but Goss is already much better than Gaddy was at any point in his life.

BRoy was one of the greatest college players of all time. No shit dude.ThomasFremont said:
