Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 5315983, member: 1772"] Of course, anything we say about an upcoming season in July amounts to little more than pure speculation, especially considering that injury bugs and happenstance are so outside the realm of predictability. In short, your guess is every bit as good as mine. For me, however, looking at ’25-’26 as realistically as I can, I not only predict a repeat Husky championship, I think it’s been a long time since, yeah, I’ll say it, the possibility of an undefeated season has also loomed so large. Much discussion has been understandably focused on the loss of Paige on the one hand, and on the return of some of the stalwarts on the other. I, for example, believe that Sarah Strong is going to emerge as the most dominant single force in the country. But, here on The Boneyard, we rarely mention our premier returning player, and the ultimate secret to Geno’s success: team defense! In tournament games last year, the Huskies’ opponents, including three #1 seeds, were unable to climb out of the 50’s in scoring, AVERAGING 54! Paige contributed to that effort, but that player was solid whether Paige was on the floor or not. A team doesn’t win many games averaging points in the mid-50’s range, and The Huskies absolutely have the personnel and the depth of fresh legs to repeat that achievement! [/QUOTE]
