In case there is still any doubt about how good Reggie Moore is, I want you to think back to last season, and the experience of Huskies sophomore Isaiah Thomas.
Â
If you live in the greater Seattle metro area, you no doubt were bombarded with pro-Husky propaganda about the great Isaiah Thomas and his glowing purple future. This hype carried through the 2008-2009 season and resulted in Thomas winning the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and Second Team All Pac-10  honors. In the off-season, it only got louder and more visible-- as the Seattle media propelled him to national watch lists and even the cover of Sports Illustrated .
Â
All that before this year even began. Â This season, Thomas has done nothing but improve, posting improved stats nearly every major category:
- PPG
- Offensive Rating
- Effective FG Pct
- True Shooting PCT
- FT Pct
- FT Rate
- 3pt Pct
- Rebounds per Game
- Assists per Game
- Blocks per Game.
Â
And tonight at Friel Court, he won't even be the best pure guard on the floor. Â Find out why after the jump:

That UW loss closes out the first half of the conference season. Should we be happy with 4-5? I would say the answer is yes. The first half was undoubtedly tougher than the second half will be for WSU. The Cougars got the LA, Arizona and Seattle road trips out of the way which is huge.

Here are a couple things to look for over the next 9 games:

Would you trade Ken Bone and Reggie Moore for Tony Bennett? |

The question has to be asked because that's what this season has amounted to. The Bennett's re-established our program and gave us an identity. It was an awesome ride and we owe them a lot. It was also clear that it was going to end between us….and end pretty quickly. In hindsight, the question wasn't whether TB was going to leave Pullman but rather when he would try to time the jump.
Last Fall, Bennett decided to make the jump to UVA and WSU was back to searching for a coach. Along comes a guy that has deep Northwest ties and a record of putting together quality recruiting classes and a style of play that kids love. He's not the charmer that TB was and he's not the youthful up and comer either. He's just a damn good basketball coach that can game plan and work deep NW ties to land local recruits. At this point, the story can go two ways. Either he's Kevin Eastman and we sink back to the depths of the Pac-10….or he's something more.....

If you don't have officials capable of calling games with competence in any league you risk the integrity of the sport. The sport you're watching is no different than staged events like WWE if you can't have officials manage games with common sense.
What is the breaking point going to be with Pac-10 basketball and it's officials? That technical on a bench celebrating after taking the lead in OT with .3 of a second to play is about as pathetic as you'll find in the last several years. Then it gets worse when the same thing occurs for the opposing team in the second overtime and yet there is no call.
Some reason has to enter the minds of the officials and not just, "Article 46.543 in Section A of paragraph 47 of the rulebook states....."
Â
This loss has serious implication on postseason hopes and it was poorly closed out by the officials.....again for the Pac-10. |
