We could play WSU again in the Pac 12 tournament, otherwise this may have been our last game with them. At the very least it is likely our last road trip to Pullman. 74-0. That is a crazy record.
1) Great to see Jump's offense get back on track. 20 points, and a diverse set of shots. 4/8 from three point range, and add 4 assists.
2) Brink with 21 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3/3 free throws, 2 blocks, and 5 steals. An incredible stat line.
3) Iriafen with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists of her own. Love to see the bigs assisting each other.
4) No one else contributed much offensively, but Ogden was 2/2 and continues to look as if she is coming into her own.
5) Bosgana with an empty stat line and 8 minutes. Ogden, Agara, Demetre, and Harriel all had more minutes off the bench than Bosgana did as a starter. This reminds me of Sara James, who continued to start even as her playing time got shorter and shorter. In her case it was a physical issue with her knees, I seem to recall. But being a starter for Tara does not necessarily mean you get more minutes than bench players.
6) We shot 49% but let WSU shoot 44%--a significant defensive let down compared with our last two games. We kept our turnovers down to 11--better than WSU's 16. We had 10 steals compared with their 5. We had 13 O-boards to their 7. But the game was extremely close until the fourth quarter. We shot 8/14 in the fourth compared with 2/11 for WSU. We appear to have worn them down.
