Husky Hoops, Brendan Sherrer Update

Coach Romar met with just a few members of the media on Thursday before the Huskies head off to Pullman to face the Cougars.

Here are a few notes from the session:

--Brendan Sherrer is in the hospital right now with an infection. He is expected to fully recover and a UW staff member who visited him reports he is smiling and in good spirits. He should be released from the hospital in the next couple of days.

--The Huskies took Sunday and Wednesday off.this week and coach Romar reports that this is a good time of the year to only play one game and have a little break: "It's fine for us. We have finals coming in a couple of weeks a hopefully guys take advantage of not playing a game over a week long to do some extra studying. But also, a little bit to rest the body and the mind. At this time of the year, your mind can be drained. A break like this during this time will kind of free your mind a little bit so that when you come back you'll be ready to get going. "

--Coach Romar was asked if the time off after having such a great game on Saturday could have some negative drawbacks. He said there is a chance, but that at the same time the guys should remember how much fun they had last time they were on the court and the success that they had. He went on to say that the team did have a lot of energy on the court Monday and Tuesday so it didn't seem like there was any let down.

--When asked how things are different now than from when he played against WSU, coach Romar said that the crowd size is the biggest change. When he played, a crowd of 6,000 fans made him fired up feel that there were a lot of people there. Now, if there's 6,000 fans that can be interpreted that no one showed up.
