PrintUC Riverside Highlanders at Washington St. Cougars, Nov 27, 2011 10:30 AM PST
The Washington State Cougars close out their trip to the 2011 76 Classic with a battle for the coveted seventh place spot against the UC Riverside Highlanders.
For those of you looking for a stream of the game, the athletic site mentioned it would be broadcast on ESPN3. However, I have found no listing for the game on WatchESPN.com. I have found a stream listed at firstrowsports.tv, and that site tends to be pretty reliable. You can go here for that. If ESPN isn't producing the game, my guess is that it will be some sort of arena feed. As always, you can go to KTTH/mynorthwest.com for an online radio stream.
As for UC Riverside, this is a game that WSU should win and win easily. The Highlanders are currently listed as #255 on kenpom.com and he predicts a 69-59 Cougar win with 81% confidence. UCR is currently 1-4, and has losses to some pretty bad teams including UTEP, Youngstown State, and Boston College (yes, BC is awful this year). Villanova blew out Riverside in the opener for the 76 Classic.
Riverside will slow the game down under head coach Jim Woolridge. They also will play some pretty solid defense. They are currently limiting opponents to 40.1 eFG% and even held Villanova under their season average in that department. Riverside is especially stingy inside the arc, where they are holding teams to 37.6% on twos.
As good as the Highlanders are at limiting the other team, they are even worse at making their own shots. They are currently posting a 36.6 eFG%. That is 342nd out of 345 teams. They also don't get offensive rebounds (30.8 OR%), turn the ball over more than average (22.3 TO%) and don't get to the free throw line (26.9 FTR). Their best efficiency against a Division I team came against Boston College, where they were able to garner about 0.92 points per possession. Their offense is just plain bad.
So you are likely in for a low-scoring affair to go along with your delicious Sunday morning brunch. Join us in the game-thread!
There is one more point I'd like to bring up regarding UC Riverside. It has to do with their nickname, "The Highlanders." I was under the impression there can only be one, so how can that be plural? Methinks you are propagating a lie UC Riverside. For shame.

Miles Simon can hold 4 thoughts in his head

Aden really worked hard in the offseason.
To add more terrible passes to his game. Terrible passes and poor shot selection. Ultimate combo.

go watch the court rush at the end
pretty much everyone out there is over 30 and wearing an Affliction shirt.
halftime +/-
Enquist 13
Moore 11
Simon 7
Aden 3
Capers 1
Lacy -1
Shelton -5
Motum -7
Kernich-Drew -15
10/17 on twos, 53.7 eFG% so far.
That’s better than other UC Riverside opponents have done, including Villanova.

they went yesterday
i believe our team cut their day short to watch the apple cup though
that's entirely possible
espn said all 8 teams went yesterday, but our players were tweeting during the AC, so i did the math.

seriously...
leave the ball in the hands of Reggie who has been horrible this year… no set plays that we can set up to score? nothing?
There is a school thought that says not to call a timeout in that situation.
see: Syracuse – IU, 1987
But, you need to know your team and right now th is probably a team that needs things laid out for them a little bit.

they should run those games on the scoreboard during our actual games
confuse the hell out of the team.
Thought going into this tournament we had a chance to win....
….or at least play in the third place game, instead we place 8th out of 8 teams. This is totally deflating.
This has to rank among the worst weekends in Cougar sports history.
Beat the crap out of Prairie View A&M too
They could quietly be sneaking up into the top 5 in the conference. Everything looks like it’s really clicking for them. Problem is they sometimes lose to teams they shouldn’t (i.e. South Dakota State)

It looks like the players
more than the coach to me… Moore hasn’t played anything like he did his first year… Aden can score but is turnover prone and is not good at getting assists… Motum is playing well… Lacy is young… we just need a PG… and center… and more experience… that’s all, right?
In his third season
How come he hasn’t recruited any centers?
they don't exactly grow on trees...
Plus Casto left early, Bjornstad got injured… and he really needed his style of guards to play his system
for the record, i'm a complete Bone homer.
just cracking a joke.
this season was a throwaway. doesn’t make this morning any more acceptable, but I don’t care what happens this year.
I'm one of the most anti-Bone postere here, but I agree 100%.
This is a massively flawed roster without Klay and D. He’s recruited very well for next year and I do want to see what he does with them.
