Agreed. Getting all three of the once-starters back into the flow of the game was the best news for this fan. This team has missed that kind of depth, experience, and athleticism. Good to see Wills get some confidence back, even as he struggled at times again. (Hope he works on his FTs between now and the P12 tourney.) Love seeing Daejon on the floor again. He's already in tune with O'Connell when they're on together.

UW is in a tailspin, so I won't get too excited about the blowout, more the team chemistry on display. At WSU tomorrow a much tougher task. I won't expect the same kind of blowout. Pulling out the win and continuing to grow team chemistry would be plenty for this fan.

I think this was a really nice win.  It helps a lot to have our most talented players available so the newer players can be worked into the game and not have to carry the game.  Our defense really caused Washington problems and their defense was not cohesive enough to deal with all of our back door cuts and clear outs of one side of the lane.  Made for a lot of layups for our guys.  I was worried about this game because it was on the road and when we played them earlier this season it seemed like Washington had some talent but hadn't yet figured out how to effectively utilize it.  We seem to have progressed more this season than Washington.  Really happy with the team's effort and performance.  On to WSU!
Cheers,
