Offensive Rating = 100.2; Defensive Rating = 94.0

Game ball as usual goes to Barcello. He was quiet for long stretches but he picks his spots and comes alive. His usage rate was too low though and should have taken at least 5 more possessions. He is still one of the better guards we've had in the past 10-15 years. He is the ultimate teammate. Last year he knew his role and was so good at it. I wasn't sure he could be the lead dog this year and he has been. It's been a ton of fun to watch.

Johnson was a +12 in 33 minutes. Wow! He struggled on the offensive end with 4 TOs and not great shooting. But his defense on Ross was the game changer. He plays such good position defense and his length and quickness is tough for someone like Ross. Nice that he's just a soph.

There's a reason Haarms is the defensive POY in the WCC. Teams can't attack the basket with him in there. His free throw shooting was very key in the win.

Please let's just enjoy this team. Tomorrow the Cougs play probably the best Gonzaga team ever. We all know it will probably be a blowout but the Cougs will fight.

Let's go!
