I support playing HBCUs, but Delaware State is perennially one of the worst teams in the nation.

At the very least, Stone and Staten are a good inside/out duo. Honestly, Stone might be the best big Sanogo has had to play against so far and it’ll be good to see him play against a stretch big with size.

Overall, good size, especially at the forward position means good preparation for Oregon who play 42% of their minutes with two 6'11+ forwards, but it Dante, Ware or Bittle, with both Ware and Bittle being excellent shooters.

Aside from that, this game doesn’t inspire me much, so that’s all I got.

They hung with Nova but Nova is pretty down

 

[HuskyHawk]

Thanks. Looks like I won’t be missing much if I’m late getting back from the Patriots - Jets game.

I think this is a pretty important game for us. Last chance before PKI to tighten things up defensively and limit our own turnovers. Would love to see a blowout so the good guys head out to PDX with positive vibes.

 

[Sibeerian]

These are great. Makes a difference to watch the game with a handle on the other team. Much appreciated.

 

[TyroneShoo]

Nova was 0-16 from deep in first 20 mins. That was weird and Del St will not hang with you guys … unless of course you do the whole 0-16 thing too

 

[Palatine]

This should be a game where everyone plays. The starters work on a few plays. And we learn how good their focus is. A clean gsame would be a good sign.

 

[lonsharkin51]

Start Richie and Roumoglou. Give the regular starters a little R & R.

Jets should have the game won by halftime

The game is at the XL Center so it's entirely possible.

UNC-Wilmington also hung with "#1" UNC the entire game and we dismantled them by 40 lol

Va Tech beat them by 40.

UNC is overrated. Their ranking is an overreaction to their run last year.

Appreciate the point about Oregon and their bigs. Figure this is a great opportunity for Donovan to get some more minutes of live action; we are gonna need his size.

Their backup PG Corey Perkins has some of the worst stats I've ever seen. It might be better to play 4v5 than play him.

Hung tight with Michigan State last night

But we were fairly awful for the first 13-14 minutes outhustled and beaten on the boards. Let’s see these guys come out inspired from the get go and show who they are to De St..Dan Hurley has had some slow start teams hoping this one, especially with the upgrade of talent doesn’t find that pattern. Get in their face from the get go!

I really don’t think that’s the case this year, and if anything we’ve been getting off to hot starts in our first 3 games except for last night. I blame it on the 8:30pm start. We haven’t played that many late gampel games like that.

A back up PG averaging 2points, 1.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists is some of the worst you've seen?

He has an over 50% turnover rate.

Momma Castle is shaping up to be Huskies super moms Tanesha Boatright and Carmen Velasquez… combined. Love it.

 

[REB1094]

Sanogo's first game against a team of 6'8 forwards. I fully expect him to rip Stone apart, but this will at least give him some minutes against a big body.

Not that he'll need it, since he plays against Clingan in practice. But it's hard to come up with other that playing one of the worst teams in D1 could help refine us.

Maybe let Andre take some shots to see how it looks?
Let Richie Springs go off for 20/10?

20-2 start vs BU wasn’t good enough?

Did I mention the BU game? Just wondering let me know maybe I missed something .

lol Jets. What a way to lose a game.

Jets doing Jets things. Lol

Calcaterra is good.
