Didn't watch the game because it was on Larry Scott's network that nobody watches
Just looking at the box score it's largely an abomination:- Effectively even on the boards ... I wasn't expecting that all year. That's a positive to see improvement there
- Solid double double from Nate Roberts ... that'd be a huge development for him to be able to put in that kind of efficient performance on a consistent basis
- Hameir Wright SHOULD NOT be playing the most minutes on a team ... he's a rotation player (at best) and he's being put into a position to fail (taking too many shots, playing too many minutes, generally getting exposed
- Jamal Bey literally brings NOTHING to the table ... he can't score (less than 5 points per game), can't shoot (27% from the field), doesn't facilitate the offense (1 assist in 3 games), doesn't rebound (7 in 3 games) ... this level of production would be struggling to do anything worth a damn in the Big Sky Conference
- I've seen frat kids at the IMA have a better idea of what a good shot is than RaeQuan Battle ... and here's the thing, I know shooters. Battle can be a good shooter. But he's got a fundamental problem ... he has NO FUCKING CLUE what a good shot is. Dude can't wait to fire ... he's averaging a shot every 3 minutes. And what's worse to me, he's basically only shooting 3's (18 out of 23 shots). So if I know that you're going to shoot 3's, and I also know that you're pretty much going to jack it as soon as you catch it, how difficult are you really to defend? There's a reason he's 5 for 23 and 3 of 18 from 3. And for the comment that he's pulling from Steph range ... the reason he's doing it is because the only way that he's got a chance to have a clean look is to extend his range further and further. It's pure stupidity not only from him for not figuring out how he's getting defended ... but an absolute indictment of how fucking stupid the coaching is to not only coach him up on what he's facing but also for not working through improvement areas for him during the offseason. He's screaming for being able to catch, upfake, and have some kind of mid-range game
- Tsohonis can't shoot (1 for 10 on the year) and because he can't also shoot FTs (which we figured out last year), you almost assuredly have someone that isn't going to go to the basket out of fear of getting embarrassed at the line ... 2 points, 4 boards, and 4 assists in 36 minutes of run is fucking special.
- It's hard to tell whether Stevenson is worth a damn given that outside of Quade there literally is not a single offensive player worth a damn on this roster.
Seattle
Montana
Washington St
Cal
Random Game
Find me the wins?
And oh yeah, there's ZERO recruiting momentum.
Fucking dumpster fire. - Effectively even on the boards ... I wasn't expecting that all year. That's a positive to see improvement there

I watched some of the game while getting other work done, I am not exaggerating when I say this, they would struggle against a good IMA team.
Nate Roberts (and Sorn lol) would be the only player difficult to handle for an IMA team, everyone else either has limited athleticism or even more limited basketball skills. -
It was over last year when we were 12th in the Pac and had no recruits coming in. We got a couple jag's as transfers that aren't going to be good under Hop. It's over. He knows it too. No chance he survives, especially with the Naz episode.

If I'm Jen, I'm looking to find a way that Hop mishandled or was negligent in the Naz thing as a way to be rid of him. Could possibly be a character clause in his contract you could exploit to save some moneyRoadDawg55 said:It was over last year when we were 12th in the Pac and had no recruits coming in.

It’s UW, they’ll fuck it up as always. They won’t fire Hopkins because of the optics of paying a buyout in a covid economy. He’ll get one more year and we’ll suck then, too.
-
I think he survives too, but his house being sold makes a firing believable. The Naz Carter shit doesn’t help him. This is Seattle. Letting him play while being investigated will get backlash eventually. Forget innocent until proven guilty, again, this is Seattle. That type of shit matters more than winning here.biak1 said:It’s UW, they’ll fuck it up as always. They won’t fire Hopkins because of the optics of paying a buyout in a covid economy.
