Finally, a game Husky fans can be proud of!
Well, I am not going to say it, ok I will. Bobby Jones 2.0 posted yesterday about Appleby channeling his inner Tre, and look what he does. He pops off for a career high 24 points. I am not going to call BJones 2.0 a profit, but, maybe....
With the billing of being the number 8 team in the coaches poll this week, the Huskies did not disappoint, winning 87-72. Overcoming ANOTHER 20 turnover performance, Romar sounded quite pleased with the win. "That was the game we've been looking for, to put it together for all 40 minutes," Romar said.
Well, all around good game from the Huskies. Got out to a lead, and really never looked back. Spencer Hawes started out rough, and, was that a smattering of boos I heard after he missed his second consecetive left handed lay-in? Or was that because the refs called that foul on Brockman for trying to dunk home Hawes' miss?
Appleby needs to play like that more. Especially, this upcoming Saturday against Gonzaga. Gonzaga is going to be occupied trying to stop Hawes like they did Hansbrough from UNC. If the Huskies can swing the ball around the perimeter, and not turn the ball over, they are going to have open shots. Zags will show a zone, if Hawes can catch the ball in the middle of the zone, it will collapse the D, and it will leave a shooter like Appleby or Nelson wide open.
Nelson played well.
Here is a quote from Romar about Appleby's shooting performance, "When he shoots the ball like that, you don't think he's ever going to miss," Romar said. "Like ever. Like the kids say, 'Infinity." And folks, this is why I love Romar!
