Yeesh, not often you see an exhibition go to OT.

Pre-game observations:

Mosiman appears to have gone after it in conditioning in a big way.

Morton has added muscle to her base which will be helpful in the physical Pac-10.


A nice start, Young looks to be very active & athletic hitting a nice floater to open the scoring. A nice sequence of ball movement led to Mollie William's first Husky points.

And then it got UGLY. Shot's bouncing off the rims like popcorn. The Huskies were getting good looks, but nothing seemed to be falling. Of most concern was the fact that the Huskies frustration led to defensive lapses that exacerbated the problem.

Argens broke the drought with 4 quick points on consecutive posessions.

Barlow is very active defensively and seems to have an instinctual understanding of perimeter defense and how to use her athleticism and long frame to full advantage.

Augustavo seems to have found her shot again, amazing what a healthy wrist will do in that regard.

Pressure on the defensive end went up late in the half and in some ways it did as advertised in leading to offense.

The 2nd half was a vast improvement offensively but L&B was able to maintain their lead until late in the contest.

Heidi had a great game and if Mackenzie can build on her performance, the Huskies prospects in the post will be in pretty good shape.

The PG play was at best scattered and is an issue that must be addressed if the Huskies are to have success in the 08-09 campaign. From my vantage point, the offense seemed to run best with Mosiman at the point.

Hopefully, the execution on both sides of the floor will show significant improvement against Corban tomorrow night.
