We survived 63-56, but there are red flags that 81alum raised after the WSU game as we head into postseason play that we need to fix if we want to make another deep run in March.
Even though UW shot 46% from the game, I thought overall defensively, we weren't terrible. The Huskies turned it over 19 times and ended up only scoring 56 points despite hitting 50% for the great majority of the game.
It is on the offense end that I am worried. From our three point shooting (5/24) and FT shooting (10/16) to our unwillingness to go to what worked, such as Brink posting up down low, it is the fourth time in five games that we've scored 66 points or fewer. I am not sure why we kept going back in the well when everyone was cold shooting the ball.
A great deal of our successful conversion rate was due to fast break layups and Brink posting down low. I feel like our jumper conversion rate must have been in the teens or twenties this game. We have to be more flexible in switching things up.
