Basketball Season Has Begun

The NBA is already underway though I don't watch them anymore since the Sonics left town. Locally there are still the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Washington Men's basketball team had there first game of the season on Halloween though it was an exhibition game against Western Washington who they blew out  87-63. It will be exciting to see freshmen Isaiah Stewart and Jayden McDaniels. Both players were five-star recruits. It will be good to see the return of Nahziah Carter who had a good season last year as a sophomore coming off the bench. He is expected to start this season.

The Huskies' first pre-season game that counts will be next Friday night against Baylor University on the road in Anchorage Alaska.  Outside of the starters' coach, Mike Hopkins isn't sure how his rotation will work for a few weeks.

The Washington State Cougars open the pre-season next Thursday at home against Seattle University under new head coach Kyle Smith. Gonzaga Bulldogs, on the other hand, start next Tuesday at home against Alabama State.  It will be interesting to keep up with Huskies, Cougars, and Bulldogs this coming season. Go teams!
