Happy post-signing day to you Cougar Nation.
Well, now that we know that Coach Paul weathered the storm of last year, we can focus on trying to keep our streak of NCAA tournaments alive for one more year.
And, like I noted earlier in the week, I believe that our fortunes lie principally in this one stinking game tonight against the trees.
Now that we’re halfway through the conference slate, we know that just about anyone in the conference is good enough to beat anyone on a given night. So, with that in mind, it is entirely possible that Anthony Goods and Lawrence Hill come out tonight, hit 54% of their 3 point attempts, and blow us out of Maples Pavilion.
But, if you harken back to our second half blitz against Stanford the last time we played them, you know that the athleticism of Casto turned that game around.
And tonight, we need him again.
To win tonight, we simply need to exploit the MASSIVE advantage that we have over Stanford in the paint. And, we also need to close out on the shooters behind the arc and then make them shoot over Casto and Baynes in the lane. We do that, we win. If we don’t, we won’t.
But I think we will. This is the exact type of game where our coaching and development are going to shine through. Baynes gets about 18 and 11 tonight and the rest of the team plays well.
WSU 62 Stanford 54.
Win this game and we’re one game back in the L column from 3rd place!! Lose and we’re in 9th.
This is a really big game.
