Well-rested Weaver and Baynes need to make a second-half impression
HUSKIES, 36-32
Well, Kyle Weaver and Aron Baynes will be well rested.
Both sat extended minutes in the first half with two fouls. Both of Baynes were of the "why-did-he-do-that?" variety, as both weren't necessary, one coming on the offensive glass when Baynes had no chance for an offensive rebound, the other on a tough shot by Artem Wallace.
Weaver is matched up with Quincy Pondexter, who not only had a hot hand, but was active on the offensive end as well. He's a tough guard tonight, and Weaver picked up his first foul trying to contain him. The second was an iffy offensive foul call.
Both are going to have to contribute in the second half – though Ivory Clark stepped up, scored four points and had a big block – if the Cougars want to move on to face USC tomorrow.
