This team has the pieces. If they start to gel a little I could see us winning a game or two in the NIT

Losing at home is a non starter. Having Hannes back, scoring at will in the post and still losing to UCLA is not a good look. The bench is still really thin but they badly needed to pull this one out. Going on a heater at the end and having a shot to win is fine … if you're on the road. This is the first bad loss of the season. Claude can't shoot, he's like 5-30 his last three games. It's like Hec Ed gives good shooters AIDS. You can say what you want about the offense but they scored 80 on UCLA. Giving up 82 is the real problem. How you let one guy shoot 6-7 from three is a mystery. After the first three makes you blanket that kid and say no more. Nope, just get caught slow on a defensive rotation, and he's wide open. Again. Splash. Gay.

He’s Hop until he’s not.
Dance or discard.

like just about every UW team over the past decade, they just seem to have really low hoops IQ. That foul on the three-point shooter was not only a killer, it was ridiculously stupid.
-
I've said it before and will say again, some things just are what they will always be. UW basketball has maybe the best player they've ever had, a lottery pick, and they're not even going to make the NIT.
Also, how is it year 25 of UW never having outside shooters? Even when they did over the years, it was always just one guy like Tre Simmons, Appleby, Wilcox, etc and then a bunch of absolute bricklayers.

I tend to agree that the bottom line is UW hoops have never been a big power and never will be.
Save the resources for football.

What if I told you since 2000, football had exactly one more conference championship than basketball?

Kepnang is horrible. They kept trying to pass to him and he would fumble it around. He has no hands or skill.

losing Traore for the year was a bad blow for the front court.
