Things to be happy about, basketball edition

Despite the awfulness of the Pac-10 last year, and the fact that we’re losing 5 of the most successful graduating class in recent history, there’s a lot to be happy about.


-At least were not in the Big-10. I was watching on ESPNU a Big-10 tournament game; it was 39-35…at the halfway mark…of the second half. At least we play in a more exciting conference.
Ick. Big-10 Basketball.

-We’re going to get to watch a new team mesh and develop. It probably won’t be pretty; but when they get it together, it’s going to be good.

-We still broke the Basketball curse. No matter how bad it gets.

-Expectations are low. Mike Montgomery’s teams, or at least from what I’ve seen, thrive when they are under the radar. This team, with all the talent we have, could surprise people. A mediocre season is expected, maybe .500. I think the youngsters will thrive on that.

-Jorge! Kid can ball. I look forward to his great defense over the course of the year.
Suck it, Oregon.

-We get some great home games this year. Kansas comes to town. Kansas, the team that made it as far as we did! Haas better be rocking.

-The future is strong. Nothing more needed.

-Having good big guys. As awful as our boarding was last year, it should be much better. Zhang, Kamp, Sanders-Frison is going to be a great front line, especially in a conference without much big fellas.
Who do you think is taller?

-Brandon Smith. I’m actually looking forward to seeing this kid play. I’m intrigued.


Alright, that’s about it. I’m sure there’s many more to be added, but that’s a good start.
