We are favored by 9.5. This stream is working for me (click through to go to YouTube, it won't play in this post):

And just like that, we're up 10-2. Da Silva with 7 including a pretty 3.

Thanks for the link. Couldn’t find it on the remote App to record on DVR. Good start!
(Watching while working. Shhhh.)

21-4 with more than half the 1H to go. Defense is eating the Cougs alive. Da Silva can't be stopped - 13 already.

Team took a page from the women, and are up 21-4 midway through the first half.

No sluggish, dog-nuisance first half today. We're flying right out of the gate going yippee-ki-yay.

That was the “first quarter” score

The ONLY complaint I have is that Delaire still looks lost and hesitant out there. I'm hoping he can get a ton of minutes today to figure things out.
Otherwise, good lord. Can't ask for a better start.

Stepped off the gas in the second half, but we had such a big lead at the half it didn’t matter.

Woohoo! 3-0 in the league. We might even break into the rankings. But if not, I can wait. Looking forward to carrying our momentum into next week against the LA schools.

It's kind of shocking Stanford had 0 votes in either poll last week. I'm imagining that changes this week.

The nationally televised beatdown against Kansas did not have us looking like a top-25 team.
Meanwhile, UW lost in OT at Cal, so I don't think we're going to get a lot of mileage out of these two wins either. I'm still very optimistic about our team, but I think it will take a win over Arizona or Oregon to get us more than a handful of votes. And that's fine, too--"no one believes in us" is a great motivator.

Heh, spoke too soon. We're 27th in the AP poll released today. We went from 0 points to 77 in a week.
Edit:
Make that spoke way too soon. 25th in the new coaches' poll.

Tyrell Terry named Pac-12 freshman of the week (notably won 4 times already by UW's big man Stewart who we shut down):

Plus, re: points in the polls, keep in mind our 2 losses are to AP #5 Butler (by 1 point, no less!) and #6 Kansas.
Can't get ahead of ourselves though. Need to beat the teams we should be beating (as we have so far), and USC is favored against us at home by a point. Plus we have a major boogeyman in the program...Haase is currently 0-6 in LA. A road sweep would be massive.
