I think this is gonna be a good game regardless but if Claude returns UW has a ton of firepower to match Baylor.
Huskies played well in Waco, losing by 9 but were within 4-8 points most of the second half. Yates was 3-15 shooting and I’ll bet he won’t have a stinker like this again this year. He’s too good. In a tight game like this they really missed the steady senior leadership of Claude and Ognacevic. Steinbach is a double/double machine, 10 points, 15 rebounds. If Baylor ends up being a 20 win team this year this will be considered a good loss on the resume. Not bad.
3-1 with a 81-69 win in Pullman tonight.
We’ve played one team with a pulse and lost. Fortunately Baylor didn’t murder any of our players, so there’s that. Beating Purdue would actually be an accomplishment. TSIO

Huskies only played 7 guys last night. Claude is still hurt, Ognacevic is out until January, Tucker rolled his ankle against Baylor and is out for three weeks, Nitu is healthy and wont play, wants to redshirt. Weird story, that. I think Sprinkle wants him to play or GTFO. Dawgs were up 20 midway through the second half and got a little tired I think. Cougs rotated 10 guys in and out liberally. Yates scored 26 on only 16 shots, good bounce back for him, Zoom had 20 points and Hannes had 14 and 13. Only 7 assists as a team and they all came from Mandaquitt and Zoom. That’s Hopkins level offense, gotta improve there. They shared the ball so much better in earlier games. They need to get healthy and they need the big 6’9” Serb who’s coming in December. The front line that looked so deep in the offseason is down to three guys and it’s just not enough. The injury bug is sapping the depth and energy from this team. Grind through the next month with no more injuries and get back to sharing the ball and they should be in a good place record wise when their injured players start coming back.
Cuog is turrible. Just turrible.

Claude will be back for the Southern game. Nitu 6’ 11” is an interesting case, he’s a long range bomber and doesn’t really mix it up in the paint, offensively/defensively. Sommerville and Steinbach really haven’t clicked together yet, Steinbach rolled both ankles last night. Said he couldn’t limp anymore cuz both were sore. Franck gave some good minutes. I bet when Claude comes back, Mandaquit’s minutes fall, he’s a liability on the defensive side, got picked on a lot last night. Just not strong enough yet to play that much. UW gets healthy in January, Ognacevic will be a huge help down low
Of the little I've seen, I dont like the offensive scheme. It seems very stagnant with almost no intent. The talent seems to be there. Who knows?

What a game from the Dawgs tonight. Easily could have rolled over and lost. No Steinbach, Claude back but zero conditioning still played a ton and payed for it. Hope the rest will do him some good. 2 OT cooker win.
It’s basically preseason and 85% new players and they will take time to jell. Last year they lose this game and the experience and OT will likely help them grow as a team.
How long is ze German out?
Last night was brutal. Zero offensive flow, so many defensive lapses. Looking disinterested and lazy at times. Very frustrating. That said, down two projected starters and Bryson Tucker who brings elite athleticism and pretty good effort and Diallo who fouled out in only 16 minutes, these dawgs didn’t lie down and roll over. They fought back from 12 down in the second half to force overtime. Claude was only supposed to play 20 minutes, he played 33 and was fantastic as he fought through cramps. Peterson played 50 MINUTES!! Went coast to coast to force the second overtime after the game seemed all but over just 90 seconds before his game tying basket. Give the boys credit for fighting through injuries and apathy. None of the teams outside of maybe 2017 fight back to win last night. This MASH unit did. Say what you want about the opponent, this was a gritty, gutsy win.
