I hadn't really thought about it, but this is a double header so to speak. Big showdown between Washington and Gonzaga in MBB first, then the women take the floor later.

 

[nwhoopfan]

My goodness. I was a few minutes late loading the stream. It's already 9-0 UH barely over 2 minutes into the game. WTH?!

 

[nwhoopfan]

This is an epic crapfest. UW has 1 FG 8 minutes into the first quarter. Trailing 13-4.

edit-15-6 after 1Q. UW is 2-17 from the floor. Hawaii should probably have a bigger lead. Dawgs have had several shots rim out, but mostly they have been WAY off.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow. UW still only 5-24 from the floor but is now only down 1 15-14. Hawaii beat Texas? I'm still not sure about that.

 

[Plebe]

UW on an 8-0 run to cut the lead to 1.
Score is 15-14 in mid-2Q. Not exactly an offensive showcase.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Unreal. UW started to hit a few shots, then went frigid again. 8-39 in the first half. Hawaii not much better at 9-29. 27-22 UH at halftime. This is putrid.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW going w/ 5 guards/wings to start 2nd half.

Ha I was like, why is Melgoza guarding the post??

 

[nwhoopfan]

They got it within 2 briefly but now down 6 again. Just one bricked jump shot after another. Still around 20% shooting midway thru Q3. Maybe closing their eyes would help? Can't get worse.

 

[nwhoopfan]

40-29. I think that's pretty much insurmountable the way UW is playing.

 

[Plebe]

Atwell swishes a 3 for Hawai'i to put them up 11. She was the one who really killed Texas.

UW is on a long scoreless stretch here. Something like 5 minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

43-33 thru 3Q. UW 12-60 from the field and 2-20 from 3. Just brutal. I'm foreseeing another season w/ about 2 wins in conference.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Atwell is enfuego. 2 3's to start Q4.

That's a lot better than zero!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lead had ballooned to 49-33. Dawgs scored 7 straight, but then on a wild scramble where they had a steal, the kicked it right back to Hawaii for an uncontested layup. 51-40 6:45 left.

 

[Shades]

This is happening....

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW is making a little bit of a run but it's too little too late. 56-48 w/ 56 seconds left. It was a 15 point deficit.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Peterson has drilled a couple 3's...on dead balls. When the clock is actually running she can't hit anything.

 

[Plebe]

Wow does Jody Wynn have an annoying voice or what. The quiet arena is letting me hear everything she says (or screams) and just wow.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Here's a telling stat--Hawaii has 22 TOs., but UW has only scored 11 points off of those. Pathetic.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Putback at the buzzer to get to 50 points, 62-50 final. 19-84 shooting 21.7%, 4-29 behind the arc.

 

[Plebe]

No one shot well for Washington, but it was particularly nightmarish for Melgoza, who was 5-21 from the field, and 1-5 from the free throw line (!). It was a bizarre bad day for her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

it was particularly nightmarish for Melgoza

She played well in Puerto Rico, but I didn't get to watch those games. She's been struggling in general this season. Peterson isn't playing as well as I thought she could either. Van Dyke is the biggest bright spot so far. Other players have had a moment or two but nothing remotely consistent.

Today Henson was the only one who approached a competent offensive game (14 points on 5-13).

It's hard to know for sure, but Iowa will probably end up a top 50 team. If Washington can put together more of those performances, they could win more games in the conference.
