Watched the game on ESPNU...few thoughts
-The effort was there. The team played well in the second half, not so well in the first half. - John Bryant is the best post player on the West Coast. (the announcers agree) - Petty will never be confused for Steve Nash but he often looked like the quickest player on the court in the second half. He plays good on the ball defense and can create his own shot sometimes (even if he is looking down). He will be more valuable as an off guard next year as we let PG be the Robert Smith\Troy Alexander show. He had seven turnovers, most of which came from dribbling too deep under the basket. Rahon and Foster would be deadly from outside if they had someone who could consistently penetrate and kick. We saw flashes of that in the second half when Petty kicked it out to Rahon a couple of times. -Traz is a player. He plays very hard and is incredibly long. He appears to be an excellent passer out of the high post. If he could develop a 10 to 12 foot shot then it would really open things up for John Bryant. I think Traz more than any player will determine how successful this team is in conference play. -Dowdell and Decensae can only go up from here. - Turnovers (we had slippery feet and bad hands all night) and defending the 3 in transition were the downfall tonight. Stanford is a solid team but I will be interested to see how Dawkins recruits in the years to come. |

I am concerned with the offense. Either ex-coach-now-current-assoc-head-coach-at-Stanford Davey designed the Stanford defensive sets or the Broncos coaching staff was plain stubborn, but there was no adjustment to the collapsing D in the first half. The players don't look confident or comfortable, they looked slow (or Stanford looked quick). And D.White, very very umimpressed ... And DD looked good in a suit ... |

That's not the half of it. Portland State's flight got cancelled because of weather. They found a bus to drive them to Seattle and then another to
drive them from Seattle to Spokane. They weren't able to prepare how they normally would. http://www.oregonlive.com...ut_of_its_way_to_try.html
