Now that Baker is back in the starting rotation, Williams isn't getting as much playing time. He only had 7 minutes in this game.

I noticed that. I almost wondered if he was hurt or sick

Edit. How awesome is it that DWill, ARMSTUD, hall and EO all had mediocre games by their own standards tonight and everyone else stepped up in huge ways for the win!!!!

"Then, following a Ron Baker personal 5-0 run, Fred Vanvleet nailed the calmest, sweetest three anyone (anyone except a Zag fan, that is) ever did see with one second left on the shotclock to put the Shockers up seven and effectively seal the game. It was a wild stretch that left the West region without four of its top five seeds."

DW wants to win as bad as the next guy...I'm sure he is more than willing to give up minutes if we have a better chance at winning. He really hasn't played well lately, but look out, it ain't over yet. :)

Baker and VV are both significantly better than DW at this point. I appreciate how hard DW plays and realize he is a bit beat up right now, but we if we want to keep winning we need more of the freshman and less of DW.

This is #PlayAngry smothering defense. Hide the women and children.

Noticed in an article around thursday that Williams hurt his knee in the mvc championship game. I guess he couldn't even bend it for a day or two.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info. Maybe the break before the next game will help.

Seth Greenberg is such a BCS tool on the espn breakdown of the game. His analysis: "This was a poorly constructed bracket. It's very deep but the 1-5 seeds were weak."

The West is overall the weakest bracket, imo. Who cares? You play who is in front of you.

Coach has been shortening the bench, but not sticking to any set lineup. Smart move. Can't wait to see what he pulls out of his bag of tricks next...

I definitely don't care. The fact that we have a golden opportunity now is just incredible.

It did and now somehow we get a 12-13 seed. Nevermind this is a dream
