Well having seen none of the game I think it’s clear that Deron Davis was never going to start and will struggle for rotation minutes. 

Especially against a team like Portland State, who has some real athletic, quick bigs and wings. He'd have no chance.

Rob may not be shooting well, but an awful lot of other sports people covering the game are commenting on how good his defense has been.  Also, he does have 6 of our 10 assists.
Last year Portland was #1 in the country in offensive rebounding %.  Right now, we have 40 total rebounds with 16 being off our own board.  Portland with 22 total rebounds and only 7 of their own board so I'd say we definitely controlled the glass today.   Also had read somewhere that it was a key for us to keep Goolsby out of the lane and off the FT line.  He has 5 reb. and only attempted 2 FT so again, I think we did things we were supposed to do. 
TJD has a double-double.  Justin with 16 pts. and 8 reb.  Would love to know what his end-of-season conversation with Archie was that has brought about such a transformation.  Al another solid shooting night. Only 9 TOs with time running out.  Race with nearly a double-double with 10 & 9.  Jerome settling in.
We haven't blown them away, but an awful lot of positive things about this game.
 

Plenty of positives. But some of the same negatives that have plagued this team the last two years. The defense is a given. We know we will be good there for the most part. The offense still hasn’t evolved. The shooting still isn’t good. The ball movement has its moments here and there. Still start games incredibly slow. Maybe some of that gets a little fixed with Green returning, but hard to say.

At this rate we will have seven players with 8 or more points.

Interesting that in a more competitive game, the only player that didn’t see the floor in the first half was Damezi.

 

Didn't see the floor the entire game

If the shooting doesn’t improve this year I do think Archie is going to have to do something. 
 

We can be a decent team not shooting decently. But very very difficult to be elite without at least decent shooting.
