Good win for UW v. a quality Maryland team. Hop loses that game by 25+. This team has some stinkers for sure but when you watch a game like this there’s hope.
Crazy enough, when UW hits open jumpers, makes more than 70% of their free throws and actually completes easy lay-ins they are a tough out. Unfortunately they don’t do those three things very often. Sprinkle is building it. He played a guard at small forward for long stretches last night because of injuries. It’ll get better.
Yup. UW will/does suck this year. They will get better. They will get tougher. Sprinkle is the guy. Just listen to his interviews, no nonsense, no excuses. (Hi Jedd!) This team can’t shoot. I think when it was built Sprinkle thought he needed tough guys to compete in the B10. They are down three front court players, 6’10” Conway, the forever injured 6’11” Kepnang and the 6’8” French wing who just got into the country with visa issues. He’s deciding if he even wants to play this year. He may just jump to the draft. That really put a damper on the season. Having bigs to muddy up a game when you’re not a great shooting team may have worked. Without them, teams collapse on Great and there is nothing UW can do unless they go on a heater from outside. On those rare occasions they look pretty awesome. Assuming Diallo, Butler and Frenchy play at UW next year paired with a top 10 recruiting class they should be much improved. I’m here for it.

Only down 29 at half to Michigan State!
Are you watching now?
Yeah, you?
It’s the third year in a row of being “a Kepnang away” from being decent.🤦♂️🤦♂️
Maybe Hop wasn’t so bad.
I can’t believe I even have to think that.
It feels like I should be hammering Purdue -7.5.
I am thinking that the answer is yes, yes we will suck this year

Wouldn’t shock me to see Diallo bail to Gonzaga next year.
