Portland state gets thumped by UW...

Was PSU supposed to be good this year? I don't follow them...

They don't have several players from last year (graduated or not). Their coach left leaving recruiting in a shambles, and The NCAA reduced their athletic scholarship count to 11 for violations and lack of academic performance.

I'd say they will struggle.

Did you guys see JJones bend over the back of the Huskie player and have the jump ball called....I found that call real interesting. I just hope my buddy , Libby, has some input on the officiating. I doubt it since it's OOC schedule.

They still don't have Brockman, if Nik and Ethan can defense Pondextor well I think TJ and the rest of the team will do just fine. Plus , Romar is an awful bench coach, great recruiter though. So we should have an distinct advantage in the coaching on the bench.

Tough senior year for Jamie Jones. Too bad.

Pondexter is the big question mark on that UW team. In some games, he looks like a first round NBA draft pick and in other games he disappears. We have to slow down, avoid turnovers, and hit 3s against UW again to beat them. We can't run the floor with them in an up and down game.
