We figured we'd learn a lot about the lads today. Turns out we were right, although not in the way we probably all thought.
For the second consecutive game, the Cougs did not play their best. And, for the second consecutive game, they won played well enough to win and actually got their deserved result. That is fantastic, because, as we all know, college hoops is a bottom-line business.
They shoot 55 percent from the free throw line, give up 12 offensive rebounds to OSU, watch Klay Thompson score just seven points before fouling out with five minutes left on a foul that reached a level of stupidity I frankly didn't think he was capable of ...
And we still won.
However, this team still has a lot of growing up to do. They better do a little bit of it quick before heading to Arizona.
