Zero off the bench so far. Randolph and Alkins are our only contributors.
Rawle gets it to double digits!
Usual bench gets 0 RAP points.

Cats need a real PG.

Trier has been a better ball handler lately. The Barcello experiment is on hold until next season. Doubt we ever go up enough to give him time the rest of the season.

Miller is definitely sacrificing this half to get reps for his bench, and his bench is really, really hard to watch.
Glad we're up 10.

yes, because all of our starters are offensive players and it would be better to put a role player with them. Give Dylan or Akot the 1st 3 minutes and put Rawle in.

Just like I said before. Only way to get Lee/Akot/Randolph/Barcello minutes is to dominate and build a huge lead...

Cheap second foul on Ayton pursuing a ball he could never get.
Conference refs just don't know how to treat big men, though they bent over for Kevin Love.
Even PJC got a charging call this half.

I would rather see Trier work on this PG skills than see AB again this season.

I dunno man, ayton didnt cut off the guy, that's a 50/50 ball that both went for, the other guy just bounces off ayton and flops, cause ayton is big.

By the way, I thought it was sorta funky how that loose ball was allowed to play out despite a WSU player clearly hindering our ability to get control of the ball...

Looked like Ayton bumped the WSU player so he wouldn't get the ball.

Wazzu cannot guard us. At all. I think every 3 we took was an open look. Having Alkins on the floor really changes things against a zone D. Then again, it's hard to gauge because Wazzu simply has nobody inside as a rim protector. As long as we play smart and take good shots, we should push 100 tonight.

You literally can't use any of your base, natural strength as a big man in the Pac-12. Leverage and verticality aren't considered...only who falls on the floor.
You also notice how the network is already whitewashing that embarrassing display of officiating against Utah. No, P.J., if we had seen free throws on that last possession, those officials would have had to have left McKale under police escort.

Yeah, I know it isn't an obvious box out, but he lost control of the ball, then stumbled into Smith's legs/midrift, preventing him from getting a shot at the ball.

We're.doing the things we should be doing well. Crushing the boards, getting them shooting under 40%.
Ayton's first half stat line is a great full game for most players.

It boggles my mind that Ernie Kent has not zoned us for more than five minutes all half. He keeps going back to man-to-man and doubling the post. It's burying Wazzu.

It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.
