So after a somewhat disappointing start to the season, the Huskies have ripped off 9 straight wins and gotten the label from ESPN as a "sleeper" to win the Pac-10 Title. I do not disagree at all, this team has been dominating on the glass (leads the nation in rebounding), gotten a lot better play from their guards, and overall plays solid team ball. I love Isaiah Thomas Jr., the kid is a flat out scorer and where he lacks in height, he more than makes up for with heart and grit.
Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty to improve on and at times the team looks like they are lost out on the court. Consistency is key and something the Dawgs will need to improve on as early on in the season they have often played down or played up to their competition. I am pretty excited though for getting into the thick of Pac-10 play. A lot of analysts around the country are saying that the Pac-10 is not looking as good as they were sold to be, but you know it's going to be tough and the Pac-10 is going to rise in strength as the season wears on.
Big game tonight against a hot Cal team, Huskies are favored by 5, which shows they are starting to get some real respect. Cal shoots well though and have gotten off to a great start this season at 14-2, it's going to be a battle.
Get pumped though Dawg fans, our team is coming alive and I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg!
GO DAWGS!
