Not sure what to expect. Northern Colorado was in the game in the 2nd half against Arizona. They were down only 4 w/ 10 minutes to play. UA ended winning by 25. Lost to UT by 13. Have to assume the 3 is a big part of their game.

Washington State 82-56 Northern Colorado (Dec 18, 2021) Final Score - ESPN
Game summary of the Washington State Cougars vs. Northern Colorado Bears NCAAM game, final score 82-56, from December 18, 2021 on ESPN.
Good to come away with a win. Still saw a lot of the same offensive issues persist, but the rotation will solidify in the coming weeks.
Roberts is in danger of losing minutes to Rapp. His lack of size was always a problem, and now his shot has left him. Not a lot of minutes for him if he can't shoot.
Easily the biggest weakness on the team is that none of the bigs can be relied upon offensively. Someone is going to have to find some post moves and the ability to hit from 10'. Gueye has the most upside, and if I were Smith, I'd work him tirelessly on developing baby hooks in the paint.
Noah has lost his confidence offensively. His shot mechanics are off. He'll snap out of it.

I have always liked Rapp but he would have played more in Robert's and Koulibaly's absence if he was going to get time this year. Koulibaly finally saw the light of day the last minute or so. Came in and jacked up a contested 3 relatively early in the clock. I think we have missed his energy and expolsiveness but he he doesn't make the best decisions like many 1st year guys.
Williams has struggled all year but we really need him to get going. Jackson as well. Last year he turned it on once he got healthy in conference. Need him to do the same this year.
