is getting underway the Cougars and
Huskies are playing Arizona and Arizona
State this Thursday and Saturday.
Thursday night the Cougars will take
on Arizona while Huskies against
Arizona State. The Cougars can beat
Arizona they will be first place in the
Pac-12 and given a better chance being
in the Pac-12 tournament. Even a loss
that is close makes it favorable.
Those who are in the Phoenix area for
baseball spring training then going
to see the Huskies against Arizona
State on Thursday followed by the
Cougars on Saturday. Be a good way
to see more sports. Thursday to see
the Cougars you would have to travel
to Tucson.
This road trip might be the last for
Huskies coach Mike Hopkins since
they currently in 10th place in the
Pac-12 and he has only one year
left on his contract. The Huskies
have a new athletic director so
another poor season doesn't look
good for Hopkins to return unless
there is a quick turnaround which
is not likely.
Whether Hopkins returns or not the
Huskies will have to use the transfer
portal to bring in new players next
year. Most of the Huskies players
who are getting the playing time
are in their final year of college eligibility.
Those who have eligibility remaining
likely will go elsewhere with a new
coach. This year's incoming freshmen
haven't played at all.
Sophomore Koren Johnson who has
been playing extremely well recently
coming off the bench and is a player
from Seattle would seem to be the
only one to return. He might be a
starter next year or a key guy off the
bench.
The players that Hopkins brought in
this year have done well for the most
part at least offensively. The Huskies
weakness has been on defense. They
have won games mainly by outscoring
the opposition. They have been a fun
team to watch however more wins
would be nice. Go Dawgs!
