WSU Vs. Gonzaga: Open Basketball Game Thread

Washington St. Cougars at Gonzaga Bulldogs, Nov 14, 2011 8:59 PM PST


Well said, sir.


Next Game


Well, I've already written about 2,000 words on this game today. You can read those by following the links above.

It looks like Reggie Moore is going to play, and Vince Grippi says he seems to be moving OK. Faisal Aden also has been cleared to play. Abe Lodwick likely won't go.

How will DaVonte Lacy perform? He will see plenty of minutes in a big-time environment. Can the freshman maintain composure? How about Dexter Kernich-Drew? Will the athletic Aussie be a factor this season?

There are a lot of unknowns headed into this season, and that is part of the fun. This game can be found on ESPN and ESPN3 (WatchESPN.com).

Go Cougs! Beat the Zags!

I highly doubt it

I think the owners wanted to go from 43% of revenue to 50% which is somehow supposed to be perceived as “fair”. Don’t forget the owners also get money off the top.

I love this because the owners are risking collapsing under their own greed. I love how angry Stern is about all this. Nothing like a rich commissioner complaining about anything in this economy.

A pox on all their (soon to be foreclosed) houses.

Stern’s spin about all the “concessions” the owners have made by backing off their absurd demands is nauseating.

The “When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong” approach at this point isn’t much better. You’ve gotta respect it, though. I guess. In a way. Kind of.

Off topic

Did everyone just see Costas on ESPN? That might have been the finest piece of journalism or interviewing I’ve seen. On-point and straight up the whole way through. I won’t bring this up again here, but I just had to say something. That was disturbing and incredible all at once.

by cougdude50 on Nov 14, 2011 8:53 PM PST reply actions  

I liked when Costas asked him if he's sexually attracted to young boys

and Sandusky repeated the question a couple times. Guilty, boom, done

by coug2828 on Nov 14, 2011 8:55 PM PST up reply actions  

That was the disturbing part

I honestly wish there were more journalists willing to conduct an interview like that. If there were we’d have a lot less media grandstanding and theater and a lot more accountability amongst public figures, be they politicians, criminals, celebrities, or others. That kind of direct interview is dead for the most part and I commend Costas for doing it.

Reggie Moore really should not have even suited up for this game.

I’m sick of watching him be limited on the floor. Sit his ass down and get him right.

by Jeff Nusser on Nov 14, 2011 9:52 PM PST reply actions  

While we are thinking...

Hey, this team isn’t going to contend for a tourney spot, just sit Reggie and let him get healthy. Do you actually think a coach will think like that? They are playing against their rival on national television, good luck keeping your best player off the floor.

That if we played this game a month from now the scoreboard would look a lot more even. It seems like the ball movement is solid, but we needed someone else to work the kinks out and get this team singing off the same page.

Agree with you there.

I’m hoping the scoreboard looks different by the end of the game. If we can make up some ground and get some confidence out of this game it would be huge.

I'm trying not to blame injury, but it's definitely a factor

It just seems to me and my buddy that coaches that there is some solid action here and there, but that the miscommunication and sloppy execution of passes and plays is indicative of a team that needs more time on the floor together. I just think with a softer landing we could build up to playing this game a lot tougher. Still though, it’s a solid learning opportunity for the younger guys to take a lot of things from after getting live looks against a quality team.

I agree, I'm just saying that with a number of the same players on the team last year

They tended to have slow second half starts and down the stretch, aside from a game or two they weren’t this tough to put away. Hopefully there’s been some growth in that regard and this game is the first step toward having a mentally tough team that doesn’t let itself get run off the court. That’s my hope anyway.

What a great start to the season

Great game. Great effort. This team looks even more “team” than last year. CKB really put it together for this game. Adjustments, heart. Even great commentators and great TV picture for a nationally televised game—officially starting the season.

And I’d take that officiating any game of the year.

Not a perfect performance, need some more guts on the boards, but the Zags look like they have the potential to be pretty special with Pango and Sacre on the floor.

I really do love Jeff Tuel. In a Coug way.

I think Bone did a good job.

I would have been nice to have Lobwick.

I've already braced myself for a tough season...

I like how we fought back in the second half when it looked like the Zags were going to throttle us.

I would have liked to play them our second game as well…with Lodwick to help out.

I don’t think the Zags are #23 in the country…but we’ll see. I could be wrong.

Still going to be better than most thought, IMHO

I loved, loved, loved them, but I think the downsides of Thompson and Capers were on display today. These guys changed the tempo on a dime and were communicating and moving the ball with great chemistry.

The Zags hardly ever deserved to be ranked.

But nobody figures this out until the NCAA Tourney

Either we are better than we thought or Gonzaga is really overrated.

They barely beat (at home) the Pac12’s projected 10th best team, who is missing there two best players from last year. Gonzaga pretty much returned everyone from last year.

I choose option A

For obvious reasons.

Who knows this early?

I know that I feel better about just having a chance at some kind of post-season than I did earlier today. There again, this is one game. The good thing is there’s plenty of growth to be had top to bottom and they know they can play with a quality opponent if they just stick in it and listen to the coaches. I give Bone and the staff credit tonight. They could’ve packed it in and sat Reggie and just emptied the bench to get guys time, but they made adjustments and kept guys playing hard to the end. They just might have something if they grow from this on their way to Pac 12 play.

I will also say college basketball is crazy and it is early. So who know how much we can take from this game?

Look at what happened to Arizona and UCLA. Are SPU and LMU consistent Pac12 quality teams?

I can't stand the other Canadian, Sacre

I think he is an overrated 7 footer. His whole game is getting to the FT and pushing people around. He is usually always in foul trouble. Then when he gets a foul he always yells.

Usually always?

I was telling my friends

if I had a 7 foot 265lb muscle of a body I would be all world, no doubt.

I then proceeded to eat the rest of the chips ahoy while I relax on my comfy couch.

I did and said the same thing tonight.

Except I was downing Kettle Chips.

I'm not going to touch that one.

But it does remind me of the Paul Graham years at the least.

Man when Gonzaga and BYU play,

the only thing I can root for is mutually assured destruction

I would take the first two numbers all season. I wish the FT% was better, but I don't think we will be at the line much this season.

Unless Reg gets to the line like his Freshman year.
FGs 47.5% 3pt FGs 45.0% FTs 66.7%

Very off topic but...

I’m excited for next year with Aden, Capers and Enquist gone. I think it will be very exciting to watch Reggie, Lacy/Ladd, Q, Brock, and Peters on the floor.

Don't forget Longrus.

6’7" defensive stopper. We will also have Kansas transfer Woolridge.
