The Official WSU vs. Palmeiras Game Thread - Brazilian Style

[wsushox1]

These refs suck! (Now it is an official, official game thread).

;-)

I know......Higgins, Sanzere, and Whitehead were god awful this game....

I swear I saw GQ staring at his reflection off the floor at one point.

I refuse to go to a game reffed by those three again.

At the Intrust Arena after a loss at home.

Any more info on this game? How'd everyone look? Unofficial stats? I am more than appreciative for the in-game updates, but now I want more!

When do they play today?

On yesterday's game, remember that Cotton was playing at the end when the game was on the line, and cashed in. Maybe Marshall wasn't playing to win the entire game, but he would put the best of the day out there at the end.

Marshall is playing these games to win this year, and next, and the year after that. This weeks "results" don't matter so much.

"and cashed in?"

I've seen one post that said the game against the National Team is tonight. Didn't give a time. I don't know where I got this, but it does appear to be THE senior national team but the 3 NBAer's probably will not play. I think that was from a Chris Jans tweet.

what do you mean?

Agreed but I think we may have a pleasant surprise in Cotton.

I talked today to a guy who has some connections. Played FR ball at WSU under Ralph Miller. He has watched a few practices and was quite impressed with the young man. He was the 2nd most talked about new guy behind Baker in this guys eyes.

This was posted by "tornado" on the Bradley board:

Just got a first hand report of the game -- they played one of the tougher pro teams in Brazil --
Joe Ragland and Demetric Williams played very well as did 6-3 freshman guard Tekele Cotton.

Anyone who believes that Coach thinks these results dont matter so much doesnt know Coach Marshall, Coach Jans, or Coach Ford very well. I havent had the opportunity to meet Coach Haier yet, but dont see Coach Marshall bringing in someone as fiery as the rest of the staff.

I cant imagine seeing Coach all smiles and having a good time when we went down 10, and cant see him not chewing the @$$ of anyone not putting forth the required effort.

Is he going to be sitting there splitting hairs over what might have been yesterday, but do see him showing each and every player what they could have done to change the outcome.

Nobody is going to argue that. But winning and losing isnt' the top priority with the trip is what I'm saying. Of course they're playing to win, but they're going to do it playing everyone.

IF Cotton is indeed playing that well and could earn PT this year that's great! I've said all along that I'd like to see one of he and Wessel play this year since we'll lose so much experience at the end of the season.
