I'd say the team took care of business very well, if not to everyone's total satisfaction. Not perfect, but pretty darn good.
The defense that sagged and doubled really stopped the inside scoring and caused most of Plum's drives to result in wild prayers.
Despite allowing some 3 point shots they only allowed 60 points! Every defense has its vulnerabilities, but overall this one was excellent.
Good ball movement opened up those 3-point shots and some nice passes inside to Chiney. Offense - 83 points could easily have been 90+.
We owned the boards - 50 to 32 - good evidence of hustle and effort (and size).
Almost everyone - Picknell! - played when the game was still on the line. More time with starters could have made it even worse for UW.
it was very obvious that the team and the coaches were unusually fired up before and during the game. Tara yelling at the refs after bad calls was especially noticeable.
I think signs for the Pac 12 tournament and beyond are pointing in the right direction.
