Wow, that steal at the end!  OSU is a very good team and do not lose much at home.  Well coached, shoot well, have a good inside game, and Rueck is really good.  This is a very good road win.  We do look much improved.  Rotation was much shorter, but I think that is sort of how it goes this late, and it has worked - we now have a stable starting five and a defined rotation.  As much as I hate to see some of the younger players lose playing time, can't argue with the results.  Williams had a great game, as did Carrington.  McPhee had trouble hitting early, but was clutch later.  Smith played well I thought.  Did not hit some makable shots, but played good defense, got some key boards, and avoided fouls mostly.  Johnson also had clutch rebounds and some great D.  Basically the whole team played pretty well overall, even if outside shooting was not on.

to me the weekend is a success already.  A win at UO would be gravy.
