Bonton and Noah Williams had awesome games. Beyond combining for 51 on 14-21 shooting they only had 3 turnovers overall and we only had 8 turnovers as a team for the game. Elleby also with an efficient game with 22, 9 boards, and 5 assists.

Great week!

Absolutely great game. Bonton has really settled down for the most part. He's playing the point guard position with great vision and confidence. Noah Williams has really come on. And to think, the previous staff didn't think he was worth a scholarship...and at least one fan on the other board who didn't think he was anything special. This team plays so hard that any kind of decent shooting makes them a pretty tough team to beat. I'm also glad they never have used all the injuries as an excuse. Good stuff!!!!

During the game I actually texted a few people that the last staff didn't think Williams was a Pac 12 player according to a brandx poster. They weren't alone as he didn't have another Pac 12 offer ala Klay Thompson. He's really come on this season.

Bonton had a special game. After the step back 3 he settled down again and just made good plays. I think we can live with a bad decision here or there when he's otherwise making good decisions and plays.
