to a good start then let Texas State
back into the game.
Most basketball games teams go
on good runs most of the time including
the team that loses.
Texas State was that way in the first
half being able to get ahead before
the Cougars were able to ride the ship.
Final WSU 83 Texas 61
The Cougars had four players score
in double figures. The Cougars were led
by center Mouhamed Gueye 18 points.
Also, dominated the boards with 13 rebounds.
Forward DJ Rodman had 16 points making
four out of six from 3 pt line. He left the game
in the second half when he got into foul
trouble with four.
The Cougars had two new starters who came
in by transfer portal. Justin Powell who transferred
from Tennessee and Jabe Mullins from Snoqualmie,
Washington who transferred from St.Mary's. Both got
off to slow start but Powell ended up with 14 and Mullins
with 13. Both are good additions to the team.
The Huskies beat Weber State 69-52. Both teams got
off to sluggish starts. The Huskies were able to get
things going into middle to late of the first half.
They began the game playing man to man defense which
didn't help at all. When they went to their 2-3 defense
Weber State wasn't able to handle it. The Huskies went
on a 15-1 run to end the first half 31 to 23.
The second half the score stayed about the same as the
Huskies led around the 8 point mark. Some reason
they went back to man to man before going back to zone.
This allowed them to extend the lead. The second half
play by the Huskies was much better than the first.
Though the Huskies are still trying out how to play
the zone with the new players I would say stick to
it. The Huskies still not a good 3 point shooting and
the zone helps to take the ball inside.
Next game we hope to see the Huskies get off to
a faster start. Against good teams they could be
blown out in the first half.
