It is a big game in many ways.

I went to the game in Huskyville back in January. We actually played reasonable well until until part way through the 2nd half we had one of our meltdowns. One of the notable aspects of the trip to Arizona is we didn't suffer any prolonged meltdowns. The Husky zone is vulnerable at the free throw line. Get it to Ellerby at the free throw line and if they collapse kick it out to Franks if they don't hit the 15 ft jumper. On defense take away Nowell and make Crisp and Thybulle beat you from outside. The guards need to realize that Thybulle's reach is twice as long as they think it is.

Go Cougs

Dickinson is the tough matchup IMO.

Without Franks the first time around we didn't have another run stopper. If we play like we did last weekend it's going to be a competitive game. It looked like one of the best turnouts for the women against the mutt's so hopefully a good sign tomorrow for the men.
