The WSU win takes some pressure off

Big win by the Beavs on Saturday. I have a feeling that the Beavers are going to need a few more of those road wins to have the kind of year they want. How about Wes Washington? Did he step up, or what? He is possibly the best on ball defender on the team. Or at least the best stealer on the team. He had some clutch shots and handled the ball pretty well.

So far the Beavs have done better than last season overall. Or at least been more consistent. They haven't lost by much and have been in every game in conference. However, they also have yet to blow anyone out. Maybe they are more mature.

They must get the USC game on Thursday. That will be the key to the weekend. Then they can take their best shot at an injury riddled UCLA team and hope for another upset.
