Didn’t catch the game tonight, but saw the box score that Jayce J. had more min

than Collete. Curious if Collete was hurt or in foul trouble or if Jayce is a better option because of his defense and rebounding?

Collette was not injured as far as I know.  Jayce got 9 boards in 22 minutes while Collete got 6 in his 19 minutes.

Jayce 6 points, Collete 4 points

And they were the two biggest guys on the court.

A bit of early foul trouble kept Collette on the bench for much of the first half.   Had a rather dubious blocking call against him that easily could have been a block on the Wazzou player.  Guys in stripes seemed to have a rough game with players and coaches on both squads showing frustration at times.  Franks (for Wash St) got T’d in the second half after getting hammered by Rawson without getting a call and saying something to the officials. 

But as far as our bigs go, Jayce is starting to look better out there and showing some of his potential.   And he is a far better rebounder than Dave is.

I guess I should have known that.

That Collette call was bogus considering it was essentially the exact same play as the charge they called on Tillman earlier in the game. It’s either a charge both ways or a block both ways. That being said, I have to imagine that he has a reputation among the refs of being a flopper which probably doesn’t help him with the 50/50 calls. Franks didn’t have much of an argument according to the TV replay, didn’t look like Rawson hit him. The first Tech they called on Wazzu seemed pretty dubious, didn’t look like he did much. Guess he said one of those magic words.

Unfortunately, neither has really been impressing this year.  I keep hoping one of them will take the preverbial step forward, but it just hasn’t happened yet.

Of much greater concern should be, where is Jakob Jokl in all this? If he can’t outrebound Collette or Johnson, I fear we may have a flop on our hands. He was supposed to be the next great Larry K big man.

Don’t know about Jakub, but usually the response about why a promising guy is not getting playing time is that their defense has been lacking during practice.
