Hopefully you watched it last night

The sun rose in the west this morning.

Hosni Mubarak just settled in for a peaceful reign.

And Idaho toppled Utah State.

Well, two out of the three don't pass the sanity test but you make the pick.

Here are Josh Wright, Shawn Harrison and Tony Jones (congrats to the bean counters at the latter two newspapers who gave the nod for Shawn and Tony to be in Moscow).

Here is the PTW running commentary throughout the game:

* Utah State spaces so well on offense, a trait that is difficult to get each of the five players to perform simultaneously.

* Tyler Newbold is a rhythm shooter (as are most players) and the key against him is to cause a moment's hesitation or a minute adjustment in his form.

* It's an apples and oranges comparison but Brockeith Pane is more effective being in motion and even off balance in his shooting style.

* In the first half, Idaho had the more difficult shots whereas USU was simply missing.

* Why do opponents forget that Brandon Wiley is lefthanded?

* It was just momentary but the Vandal backcourters after a miss and an defensive rebound beat USU down the court twice in a row -- a very uncommon sight.

* Not taking anything away from a great Vandal effort but USU is missing shots that are normally buried by the Aggies.

* Did Brian Green have one open look all night?

* Put Nate Bendall on the back of a milk carton -- was he hurt or ill because the senior was noticeably absent?
