It seems like it's been a long time since the Beavers have played a game, but maybe that's just me. We'll have to wait even longer today as well, as the Beavers and Huskies are scheduled to tip-off on 8 p.m. Pacific on FSN.
Here's my look at the Husky roster that I wrote when we played the 'Dawgs the first time around.
To bring you up to speed, Isaiah Thomas leads the team in scoring wiht 16.5 points per game, Justin Dentmon is averaing 15, and Jon Brockman is, well... Jon Brockman. Big, strong, and physical: 15 points and 11 rebounds per game.
In order to have a chance to win this game, the Beavers will have to rebound well (something they didn't do well in the first meeting), score lots of points (because the team at the end with the most always wins), and find a way to get Roeland and Calvin opportunities to score. And from there, we can hope that those two guys can "prime the pump" if you will, allowing the remainder of the team to play well after an tough sweep versus the Arizona schools.
Again, tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. I hope to see you here in the thread, unless 8:00 is past your bedtime.
