Rodman has been absolutely hammered a few times this season.

WSU DESTROYING REFS AND BYU, WITH 4 minutes left.

WSU going to win. Margin of bad destroy BYU remains to be seen.

This WSU team can hang with Texas A&M, win NIT

 

[Coug1990]

Gueye with the Monster Dunk

 

[sellas]

I have always hated BYU with a passion. This warms my black heart greatly

 

[SaveFerris]

20 points with 5 mins I would hope not but crazier things have have happened

Crazier things have happened but I'm starting to hear Frank.

Doesn't hurt that Pope was a mutt for a bit as well.

Go Coug's!

 

[Coug1990]

Unsung hero of the game. In limited minutes, Rodman has 7 rebounds.

 

[mikalalas]

Sub the scrubs, back ups, avoid injuries, etc.

Rodman is a glue guy

 

[COCoug]

This is so impressive. Who else on this board would have loved for a chance to play Virginia in the final? Unfortunately, we can't win games for them too, but pretty psyched to match up with an SEC team next!

 

[Coug1990]

Go Coug's!

Yep, from Newport High School in Bellevue, to the uw, and then he finally got smart and transferred after two years in the ugly purple and gold.

 

[mikalalas]

2 mins left get rotational players out avoid injuries.

 

[12375CAT]

WSU is winnin' it👍.
BYU is Cougin' it👎.

 

[Coug1990]

That was a fun fun fun game.

 

[SaveFerris]

Definitely a fun one. Flowers, Jackson, and Efe's presence were tops on my list. Roberts did a pretty good job as well especially his time on Barcello.

Hard to not like what we saw tonight.

 

[sellas]

The only negative. Man were Bamba and Williams bad. Luckily Rodman stepped up.

It is nice having a deep team

I mean, not everyone can be on every night.

 

[M-I-Coug]

Has WSU Ever had three big men of this quality at one time

I know, right?!

 

[FnuLnu]

I know, right?!

Pudokas, House, Donaldson

 

[Observer11]

Pudokas, House, Donaldson

I was gonna go with House, Donaldson and Tessem.

 

[jourdand]

I expected a win but wow didn’t really see such a dominating performance. Nice job! Now on to MSG. I know the NIT is a consultation tourney but it’s great for experience and what an awesome experience for the players!👍

 

[COUGinNCW]

Dear Basketball gods,

Please keep the bigs in the game and don't let Noah go all Noah in the next 11 1/2 minutes.

Amen.

No Noah in the second half that I recall. Or Bamba?

 

[COUGinNCW]

Rodman has been absolutely hammered a few times this season.

he takes a shot just about every game.

Yeah I thought WSU would win by 1 to 7 points, but I was shocked by the dominating performance and how they DESTROYED both the bad refs and BYU.

 

[TrumpCoug]

That was a fun fun fun game.

Super fun! Last night was a "complete" game where they didn't take their foot off the gas pedal. The team appears to be peaking/jelling during this tourney. Love their confidence.

 

[Rich Lewis]

Surprised no one has mentioned the defense. BYU was averaging 91 a game. The cougs (WSU) gave them fits all game long.

Check your ignore list, it has been mentioned

 

[CougPatrol]

Easily our best game of the season. BYU came out with energy and fan support, but we took their best shot and continued to pound the ball inside and never relented on defense. They couldn't get out in front those first 10 minutes and it got in their heads.

This is a great example of how sometimes the NIT is the better option for a young team. I hope we can keep this group together next season.

The overall core, is probably likely to stay.

That means Gueye, Efe, Jackson, Jaki, Tyrell Roberts, Noah, Rodman, Bamba, are coming back.

Maybe, unknown, etc: Koulibaly

Noncore semi probably, semi likely, semi maybe stay: Ryan Rapp

Unknown: Rosario, Rice(but probably stays)

And this gets the 6-10 Nigerian recruit who might probably good enough to get playing time.

And if necessary team can get a transfer to plug a slight depth hole somewhere if need be.

Team should not only be just fine next season, but should win 21,22,23,24 wins in regular season, 2nd,3rd in conference, 12,13,14 wins in conference, 2,3,4 Pac 12 Tourny wins, 3 to 7 seed in NCAA Tourny, 2nd round, Sweet 16, Elite 8, 24 to 27 wins after NCAA Tourny done.
