Matisse Thybulle just needed to find his confidence again.
After averaging 11.2 points per game last season, Thybulle put up just 5.9 points per game during the first seven games this year. The Huskies offense was lacking a consistent contributor beyond Jaylen Nowell and Noah Dickerson, something head coach Mike Hopkins talked about often.
Thybulle, always so reliable defensively, was one of the top options to fill the role. He needed to get more involved, Hopkins said. So Thybulle spent more time in the gym. He put shots up before practice. He put up shots after practice.
