NOTABLE NOTES:
Rickey Claitt's foul situation will be one to watch. At
Washington, the Beavs played the Huskies even-up in the first half until Claitt
took a seat with his fourth foul. Washington's second half surge also coincided
with Claitt picking up his fourth foul and heading to the bench.
The
Beavers like to run the offense through Schaftenaar out at the top of the circle
and have enjoyed their best games when his deft passes find the mark. He can
also score from inside or out. But ASU harassed and hand checked him into a
non-factor a week ago, giving him virtually no room to breathe and the OSU
offense faded. In the following game against Washington, OSU surprised by
running the offense mostly through Beavers other than Schaftenaar. If Washington
State doesn't smother him like ASU, look for OSU to return to running their
offense through the 6-11 point forward.
