20 wins possible?

Fuck Hopkins is a good coach , this team is a shit show with Crisp st PG. Romarvwould have won 5 games with this team. At least they are playing defense. Montana will be good this year

I think you're right. Hopkins just might be a pretty good hire. This team has worts and will shit themselves sometimes but I finally see a glimmer of light at the end of what has been a very long and dark tunnel.

10-3 through ooc schedule is pretty great with this group. Especially with none of the losses being "bad" losses and having one really good win. Romar would have gone 8-5 or 7-6 with this group. It wasnt always pretty but the team stepped up when they needed to.

They should be able to compete with most of the pac.

If they go 9-9 in league and get out of the 1st round of the p12 tournament they have a chance to sneak into the dance.

This team is fun because I can legitimately see them beating/losing to every single team in the Pac. Nowell will have to continue to progress and be the guy to get us through those painful offensive stretches where we throw the ball away for 7-10 minutes.

If he steps up I could see 10-8 as a possibility in league.

Zero chance a 9-9 PAC 12 team makes the dance. Without winning the PAC tourney of course. This could be another year where the PAC only gets 2 or 3 teams in. 4 Max.

That being said, I could see us winning 12 conference games as easily as 5 games. Barely beating Montana and not even covering a 4.5 point spread is awful.

Next year will be special. This recruiting class is legit. Elijah Hardy is a good PG (RSD 2). Ed Chang is a 6"8 SF he can really shot it but I would like to see him be more agressive going to the net (RSD 2,
). Nate Roberts 6"11 PF he's a freak that can jump out of the gym and run the floor like a gazelle but needs to put on weight and develop offensively (RSD high 2). Jamal Bey is a stud one of the best players on the WC, Mid-Range game, Strokes it from 3, athletic, good ballhandler, scorer, 6"7 SG ( RSD 3).

Targets: J'raan Brooks (Garfield) Stretch 4 he's a high 2.

Bryan Penn Johnson 7 ft center, athletic as hell, great shot blocker, finishes well ( 3)

Without checking the current RPI numbers, UCLA did just beat Kentucky which gives the Pac at least 3 top 10 wins in OOC.

Agree 10-8 is probably the minimum to get in the dance. 9-9 if you get to the championship game could be enough depending on who you play.

Forgot about zona beating top 10 ATM as well as Bama and UConn which could end up being huge.

The Pac sucks, but it's not as bleak as it seems.

Look at the RPI conference rankings and sagarin ratings, all have PAC 12 6th best conference. The PAC has some good wins but some really shitty losses.

I don't see this team sniffing teh dance, but even if they went 10-8, it would have to be the right wins. You can't clean up against the bottom third and not win the big games to get resume.

I still see this team as a 6-7 win Pac12 team this season.

The upside for UW is you? miss having the second matchup against the three toughest outs in the league (UA, ASU, USC) and a decent UCLA team. With how bad Wazzu and Cal are, there also should be four wins handed to you on a platter.

Hop may very well be a miracle worker but these Dawgs are no Hellen Keller.

Defense is ok, offense is an abomination at some points

Hopkins has won over the players and will make this season a lot of fun. He's done well recruiting as well and is building something very cool at UW. Might not make the NCAA's this year but the team is going to compete and make the season more interesting than most thought. Go Hop and go Dawgs!!!
