Great win. If Noah doesn’t foul out so early Cougs win this one by 20.

Great win, but my God they need to work on breaking the full court press, I am sure they have, but they look sloppy doing it, they need a good passing forward to inbound the ball. Great shooting night and overall great defense, nice to see an all around team effort, a lot of the younger players stepped up, to make up for all the bad foul calls on Williams, Bamba, Rodman, Kunz, Rapp, all stepped up their game last night, and Bonton and the bigs did their job. the future looks bright for this team, a lot of young talent. This Coug team is playing much better now than they were on the California road trip, the two close losses to AZ and OSU hurt, or they'd have a shot at a 500 or better conference record. Bring on the Trojans, anything is possible, 4 more home games in a row.

Really impressed with how Rodman’s come back from being out and the way Kunc has been playing. Both have been much more confident and aggressive. I was worried when Bonton inevitably cooled off where the offense would come from especially without Williams. Then the trouble with the press. They held on though.

Probably more minutes than Rapp has played in a game. He continues to look more of the part even though he ran out of gas. Fun game overall.
