Huskies take on Montana

by John Berkowitz on Dec 27, 2008 8:56 AM PST

The 7-3 Washington Huskies face the University of Montana Grizzlies at noon Sunday at Hec Edmundson Pavilion. The Huskies play Morgan State on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. and then begin Pac-10 games a week from today at Washington State.

The 7-3 record isn't bad but Romar figured the team would have been at least 8-2 at this point. The loss to Portland to open the season was a surprise. A last second loss to Florida seemed to be the turning point for the young squad after being outclassed by Kansas the previous evening.

For the Huskies to do well in the Pac Ten they are going to have to keep improving out on the perimeter. They seem to have done that every game but one facet of the game is still missing and that is three point shooting. The Huskies need to get Thomas as comfortable in games as he is in practice from that range.

Overall the Huskies are one of the best rebounding teams in college basketball led by Jon Brockman but they need to improve their overall shooting percentage to be dancing in March.

Notes

The Lehigh game probably won't be rescheduled.

Montana junior guard Ryan Staudacher is one of the nation's leading 3-point shooters and shooting 57.7 percent overall . Staudacher played at Lake Washington HS.

Anthony Johnson from Stadium HS in Tacoma is the Grizzlies leading scorer.

The Huskies lead the series 40-9, including 27-4, but have lost five of previous seven meetings.

Montana game

I’ll be watching. It’s pretty boring right now, with the quiet period and the holidays. How is it looking in Seattle? Over here on the eastside of the mountains were thawing out really fast! I think we’ve had over a foot of snow, in total and it’s disappearing fast. GO DAWGS!!

My goal for this recruiting season is to overtake the cougs. What do you guys think? Is that a realistic goal? I have a feeling that Coach Sark and Company are great recruiters but I think with the late start and the scholies being on the downside that may not be realistic.

very realistic

we should make splashes in SoCal and Hawaii. I think we will finish with a lot of very good kids that had very good senior years and are now making waves as opposed to the kids that were highly recruited because of their junior years…I think we will be fine

MOVIN ON UP

It is really boring right now, I have checked in on all my normal dawg sites about 10 times today alone. To answer the question I think the recruiting in state may be won this year by the cougs but over all sark is inheriting a better team it just lost all focuses and heart with ty. Plus all that young talent isn’t as young I think we are on the way back up with the main issue being who the new DC is. If Dwayne walker leaves UCLA that will only help us start picking up some of the cal talent
