WSU Vs. UCLA: Open Game Thread, Streaming Info

in 2011-2012 WSU Basketball News
Email
PrintThis was a game I wasn't feeling very optimistic about -- and, truth be told, I'm still not -- but I'm feeling less pessimistic today after this little bit of news crossed the wire:
UCLA will try to win its first game against a Division I opponent outside of Southern California on Saturday but will do so without 6-foot-10 forward Travis Wear. Wear suffered a high ankle sprain in the Bruins' 71-69 loss to Washington on Thursday and is unlikely to play against Washington State.
Obviously, UCLA's massive front line was going to be a major sticking point, but now that the Bruins are a little less massive, perhaps there's a crack that WSU can exploit. Travis is the more offensive minded of the brothers (119 offensive rating on 22 percent of possessions used, 13 percent offensive rebounding), so this should theoretically help the Cougars defend the Bruins.
Ben Howland has only been using three big men with the Wears starting and Joshua Smith coming off the bench. This injury completely fouls with Howland's rotation. Does he start Smith and run the risk of the big man getting in foul trouble immediately -- the very reason he became a reserve in the first place? Or does he insert little-used -- and offensively inept -- Anthony Stover as a place holder?
My guess is Howland goes with the latter, and when he eventually brings Smith off the bench, he'll try to ride the out-of-shape center as far as he'll take him. Neither Stover, nor Brendan Lane, are attractive options, as they've played just 68 combined minutes in the last seven games.
This, however, is the question: How far can Howland actually ride Smith?
Looking at this objectively, this injury really does have the potential to be a game changer for WSU. There's a non-zero chance Smith might have shot his wad, so to speak, in his season-high 26 minutes against Washington. They were good minutes (24 points in 13 shots), but they also were hard minutes for a guy who's still very out of shape. If WSU can somehow get him in foul trouble -- honestly, not that tough to do -- Howland is going to have to go deep into his bench for guys that, frankly, aren't very good. Smith is one of the best offensive rebounders in the country, and Travis Wear isn't far behind. Given WSU's defensive rebounding issues, getting Smith off the floor should be paramount for WSU.
Of course, it won't matter a lick if WSU gives up 15 threes to Lazeric Jones, Jerime Anderson, Norman Powell and Tyler Lamb.
I guess what I'm saying is that I could see this being close, with even the (gasp!) possibility of a WSU win. But I also could see this being another complete blowout. I suppose that could be construed as wishy washy, but until Travis Wear's injury, I didn't even see the first as much of an option. So ... progress!

As usual
Root/Fox Sports will be joining our game at about the 12 minute mark due to the prior game still going on. WHY OH WHY can’t we do a better job of staggering our starts for TV as a conference?!?
I am very much looking forward to the Pac-12 Network next year…
I stand corrected...
Thanks for taking care of business, Arizona…and thanks for not fouling, Stanford.
Mentik just said "We'll be headed out to Spokane"

Especially when no one else can score.
Kind of helps a defense
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum.
we've had plenty of good looks the last 5 minutes
a couple missed 3’s. a couple missed jams. a couple of good passes down low to brick hands.

Like a good neighbor, Abe Lodwick is there.
With a three.

Yeah, that has to be a foul on Smith
Yes, you should follow another Coug-related account on Twitter: @425CougFan
that was a stupid foul on Smith
just a dumb reach.

Oh my goodness!
How the hell is that not a foul?
OK, now that was HORRIBLE calls
Effing Pac-12 refs…..why in EVERY sport we have to have the worst refs
Side Note: Ken Bone getting much better traction with those sneakers

Letting them play, huh?
But they were calling every little ticky-tack foul earlier in the half. I hate Pac-12 officials.
speaking of stupid fouls by Smith

Hello we're playing UCLA
We’re lucky the reffs allowed us to even be in this game.
Country Coug!
You don't call DKD getting hammered
But you call THAT? If you’re gunna be bad, be consistently bad.

So, let's see...lead for 30+ minutes, go ice cold, and lose
Yep, just another home game against UCLA

Also, don't forget to completely ignore a wide open Mike Ladd!

WOW....They looked totally LOST on that possession
No leadership on this team and it came throw big time right there
Don't know what you're gonna run?
how about passing it to one of your 3 point shooters and taking the shot?
that rebound just about sums it up

The good news is...
Lenny has called us "Washington’ so many times today, I’m now smashed.
That just summed this game up perfectly
They miss a freethrow and end up back on the line

Graham's and Eastman's teams (post '95) weren't frustrating
They were just awful
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum.
Graham's teams were waaaaay worse than Eastman's
They were flat-out embarrassing.
Agreed
But that doesn’t mean Eastman’s teams didn’t suck
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum.
Oh, they absolutely did....
Except that ’95 team was pretty decent.
just about correct
there were plenty of teams that just lost. So it wasn’t really frustrating because we knew it was going to happen

Really dumb jump by Jones.
Just let the guy shoot an 85 footer.

Pittsburgh Panther fans are nodding in agreement right now

Exactly, Brock sidestepped him, if he goes up he might get a call.
Better odds than hitting a 80 footer.
