Pac 12 opener game thread

[D-train]

There's a reason the Basketball Power Index had the Huskies ranked 8th in the Pac-12 going into this game.

Anyway, just hope they can scrape into one of the lesser tournaments. You have to wonder, if Hopkins can't win with this bunch why should we believe he's ever going to build a team that can compete with the big boys?

I'm not sure this "bunch" is all that great.

I'm already seeing the side effects of hamstringing the rest of the bench in favor of only 6 guys on the court.

BPJ, Battle, Hardy, Roberts aren't benefiting at all by sitting on the bench while clowns like Hamier Wright get 30 minutes. I think Hop has kind of fucked this one up a bit... he needed to play a deeper bench before conference play. Sadly I think its killed some of these guys confidence.

How could he think that any of those four could be worse than Hammerhead? Makes me question his judgement.

The place where the bench gets better is in practice. They are playing against better players so they are improving.
