OFFICIAL UW-SCSU game thread

Someone just stated this is the worst shooting team in the nation? out of 300+ d1 teams.

UW's Halfcourt offense still sucks

That's assuming we "had" a HC offense

No consistent outside shooters

No lock down perimeter defenders

Very limited half court offense.

Looks to be another stellar year.

The court is fresh. UW's team sucks. I'm probably going to sit most of the season out and wait for Murray.

2015 is going to be special.

Upshaw looks like one of those bigs who just stand around and do nothing

Lol

I'll wait until he plays well against a team with a C taller than 6-7 before I admit I was wrong, he looks out of it at times on offense. Perhaps he can be a stalwart on the other end of the floor

Jesus christ this was the thought on the b-ball team a month ago http://sports.yahoo.com/news/huskies-hope-frontcourt-ends-being-strength-000443179--ncaab.html


now people are worried about shooting? We just got a good showing from a 6'9, 6'10, and 7'0 big, on BOTH sides of the court, with NO foul trouble, and NO turnovers.

You really think Goss/Andrews/Winters are gonna put up 1/11 from 3 kind of stat-lines very often?

Wilcox's career numbers-
.433 fg%, .389 3pt%, 28.5 mpg 14.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.6 apg

Winters numbers at Duquesne (true freshman, A10 had 5 teams make the tourney that season)
.442 fg%, .379 3pt%, 22.0 mpg, 9.6 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 0.9 apg

Now I'm not delusional enough to think that he will have wilcox's impact, but to think he can't be a "pure shooter" is ridiculous, if anything he should be a better player than those numbers show with the extra year under his belt heading into his junior year (no clue what his JC stats were but they probably wouldn't mean much)

He had an admittedly bad game, there was a 5 game stretch wilcox's junior year he shot 6/29 from 3.....

When it rains it pours, give the kid some time

We will give winters time, however keep in mind anderson was brought in as 3 pt guy. So we have plenty of misses in terms of shooters.

Duquesne is not the pac12. How winters has evolved since his freshman year and how much he can learn to succeed vs pac12 talent will be the biggest challenge. He isn't matching up vs A-10 schools, he's going against the pac12.

So all new guys will get a chance to prove themselves. That being said, we have been very poor shooting the ball for a few years now. Starting ice cold at home doesn't bring on fond memories.
