Well, this should be a blowout. Arizona might have a little bit of a letdown from the …
What do the former Husky hoop star, the UW assistant coach and I have in common? We were all on KJR talking hoops on Friday.
Isaiah talked about life in the NBA, guarding Kobe Bryant and other things. But the most interesting aspect was toward the end when he said that Terrence Ross and Tony Wroten should stay for another season.
Shaw tried to discuss what exactly went wrong last night in Eugene. He was disappointed by the Huskies inability to get up after getting knocked down early by the Ducks and mount some sort of a comeback to make it competitive. He also previews OSU and calls them one of the best scoring teams in the Pac-12

Well that was sort of unexpected. It’s not like you didn’t think the Huskies could lose. Any team can lose on the road in this league. But it’s the way they lost that was pretty surprising. The lack of envery and the number of defensive breakdowns were startling.
Yes, the Huskies were late to the arena and everything kind of got messed up. But that excuse won’t work with Lorenzo Romar.
