So, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Boise is a much better team and the Wildcats hung in there.
The good - Carlson had a nice game, 17 pts on 6-7 from the field and 2-2 from deep, with two steals. Only 4 rebs in 28 mins though. WSU shot 85% FT. Held BSU to 41% shooting with lots of effort on defense, although they shot 42% from 3. 8 steals, Kozak had 3 blocks and 11 rebs. Nice to see Bassett on the floor. Jones has 3 steals in 15 minutes.
The bad - Shot 36% for the game and a horrible 24% from 3. Outrebounded by 8 and gave up 11 ORs. Brown has been strong offensively but Boise keyed on him and he got 18 pts but on 4-11 shooting.
Seems more similar to last year, poor shooting, especially from 3, and poor rebounding. But BSU is a really good team, won at BYU, lost a close one at ranked Houston. Games Friday and Sunday at PSU will show if there has been much progress, they played Washington State pretty tough today.
