The Knowledge’s 🏀 UW hoops mega thread

Wrong … 1) he had previous head coaching gigs and 2) he took both of his previous programs to March Madness.
Hop’s only head coaching experience prior to UW is when Jim B. missed a couple games.
Last year when I checked my app UW was in most games and when I would check back they had collapsed by the 4th quarter. Expect a big improvement in this department and unlike Fisch he will actually win on the road occasionally in the Big Ten. At minimum UW needs to make the conference tournament with an outside chance at the Big Dance bid.

I was wrong.
Hop had a conference title and an NCAA tourney in first two years at UWWhat Sprinkle did elsewhere means jack.
-
ha I totally spaced out his first two years at UW. What did he do with 2 ***** star one and done players? Next to nothing if I remember correctly. (I’m old, is my excuse)
I believe Sprinkle will get UW to the tournament eventually and have similar success as Romar making the big dance. It will be difficult to match Romar’s success with Seattle studs playing multiple years and a couple deep runs and a #1 seed.
Those Romar teams with Roy and IT led squads were fun during March especially when we were in the wilderness during the dark football years.

I’ll believe it when I see it
-
I had a similar feeling when Romar was hired and after year 1. But yes, skepticism is understandable when it comes the Husky hoops.
Still rather beat UCLA in football tonight than Gonzaga in hoops if they were on the schedule.

Throbber gets it

you seem to be all over this thread while not caring about UW hoops. I sure as hell would rather waste my time occasionally when UW is good vs the fucking Mariners that haven’t won jack shit and choked going 2-0 in Toronto in the ALCS. Absolute best sports decision I ever made was ending my baseball (Pilots/M’s) viewing after that chock job in 2001. M’s fans have become the twentieth century Cub fans.

so you think UW is good. Bully for you
-
I think this team will be pretty good, once everyone is healthy.
-
Those of you that don't have a clue about the players Sprinkle bought should just keep tuning out.
While "The team sucks until they don't" is riveting sports debate/conversation, just go ahead and fuck off until March so that you can then chime in, minutes before tip-off of the tournament, just to queef "UW will just get their ass kicked by Purdue or Arizona anyways" which just illustrates why this existed on a separate sub board in the first place.
