UW mens basketball swept by the Cougs

Topic

Crazy in back to back years UW basketball went from one of my most favorite teams ever last year to easily my least favorite team this year since the Wroten year. Can’t recall a more contrasting teams in back to back years.

This year was painful. Any idea why they forgot to recruit this year?

Hopkins is just bad. Hit a sweet spot where he brought in some of his own guys as role players while getting Romar’s talent as seniors (and Nowell). Thybulle was a special player that was perfect for the zone.

Even with that perfect storm he was blown out by Oregon twice.

This team is just terrible at shooting, and bad at understanding offense which the other Pac 12 coaches have been able to eat up.

This team doesn’t win another game this year.

Why can’t Washington just hire some good coaches like their rival.

Im gonna Doog a little bit more and bank on a big rebound year from Hopkins…in 3 years.

Is this going to be the third time in the last ten years that UW has 1 first round picks and doesn’t make the tournament? Jaden hasn’t had the year anyone expected so who knows where he goes, but I think it’s possible

Has any other team in the country even one that once?!

Third time? Sadly this is going to be our 5th time and third time with multiple(maybe that’s what you meant).

2012- Ross(lotto)/Wroten – NIT
2014- Wilcox – losing season
2016- Chris(lotto)/Murray- NIT
2017- Fultz number one overall – Losing season
2020- Stewart and possibly McDaniels- losing season

I meant to say two first round picks. The ability to squander talent is pretty incredible at UW.

Hop will do something Romar has never done though. Have two first round picks and have a losing season.

Congrats to Hop on underachieving on a greater level than the GOAT of underachieving.
