Probably not, but I see a win. Maybe 5-6 points.

UW probably is closer to a bubble team (~40-45) than top 25 this year. If we are a top 15 type team, that spread might be slightly on the lower end

I agree. Am I missing something? I really don't see how they got enough hype to be preseason top 25. I understand they weren't terrible last year and return most everybody and had a decent recruiting class.. but not really the formula for a preseason top 25 team usually.

They return nearly their entire team that finished 21-13 (10-8) with some quality wins vs Kansas, Zona, Zona St, USC


In particular, Noah Dickerson + Jaylen Nowell will be difficult matchups. Both are great players and bigger than our defensive matchups (Dickerson 6'8 255, Nowell 6'6)

They got a lot of buzz from beating Nevada pretty badly in a preseason scrimmage as well.

So UW is heavy on zone so this game will suck to watch if we don't start off hot

Can't wait. Have been excited and anxious all day. I think Wiley will only play if needed. I hope we're able to come out hot and stay hot so he won't have to play and he can be fully healthy for Maui.

As we had seemingly everyone on the floor dropping bombs last night, I was thinking back to just a few years ago when AU would have only 1 or 2 reliable scoring threats every season. Feels good to have 5 legit scorers on the floor, with 3 more on the bench ready to get theirs.
