Exactly. Go with the smaller lineup, play Murrell more or even Angel, mix it up to get the best groups out there. Kisunas has had some big moments for this team, but his hands are a liability at times, and it was clear to everyone that this was one of those times. No excuse to play him so much today. Not putting the loss on him, mind you. The coaching obviously played a big role, and many players share some of the blame, too. ZW had a rough outing according to the box score, for instance. Tough loss at a tough time. No good excuses for it.

What a train wreck. 50% free throws percentage and 24 TOs? My question from what I saw in the first half: Why keep Kisunas in so much? He was fumbling every ball sent to him that I saw. I really expected to see a different starting lineup today and hope we'll see it come Thursday.

Up three seconds left you foul. Coaching 101
Kisunas had a rough game and it never really got better. Haase should've tried either going with a smaller lineup or giving Murrell more time, but he didn't.
This is the first time in a while where I've felt like Haase did a bad job of coaching. WSU was 6-10 in conference with basically one good player, and we let him beat us. Surely we could've put more emphasis on rebounding. Also switching on screens more would've helped (though we did some--just not enough).
Thank goodness the USC game got postponed.
