I had a similar thought during the game, Refs seemed to be working quite hard for UW.

UW 64 NIU 71https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401364992
So much for the cup cake OOC schedule. Poor shooting all the way around doomed the UW in this game:
In comparison NIU shot:
UW outrebounded NIU 51-37 while they also had 12 steals, 12 turnovers, 6 blocks but only 4 assists total as a team.
I wonder how much time does Mike Hopkins spend on ft shooting in practices? Also, can Mike Hopkins identify good shooters (FG/FT/3FG) when recruiting players and/or develop them into shooters? Bey, Bajema and Roberts look pretty much the same the players- how well does Mike Hopkins develop players that stay 3-4 years in the program? Is Riley Sorn, who was on the bench in street clothes, injured? His size in the paint would have helped out a lot against a smallish NIU team.
The UW's next opponent, Northern Arizona, lost 81-52 to Arizona tonight. The UW should beat NAU on Thursday but I thought the same concerning tonight's opponent.

This is spot on. Average shooting, 40% on 2’s, 30% on 3’s and 65% from the line and UW wins by six or seven. Half court defense lacked rotation which led to a slew of open 3’s for NIU and they buried them at over 50%. Outside of better rebounding and a decent press this looks like the last two versions of UW. Can’t shoot, can’t shoot, poor half court defense, can’t shoot.

I think the glass half full view would be that Daejon Davis, Emmitt Matthews, and Bey all performed much worse than their average game body of work throughout the course of their careers and from when I have seen them play, so hopefully it was just a few off nights.
The Hopkins abused side of my mind immediately thinks he just made them all shitter by having them play whatever offensive system this is supposed to be.

This is Hopkins 5th season at Montlake and we still don't know what type of offensive system he is running. To me it seems like just give the ball to the best player and everyone else get out of the way. He did mix it up on defense with more man to man and full court pressing but that 2-3 zone defense needs to be limited as it gives up a lot of wide open 3s and is hard to defensive rebound out of when played consistently.
Emmitt was a high energy role player at West Virginia. Daejon never led Stanford to March Madness in 4 seasons. Brown has bounced around a lot as a player- he was a high scorer at Seattle U but more of a role player at Arizona last season.
Mike Hopkins hasn't shown the ability to coach players up...time will tell.

Can Gregory slide over from football and babysit on an interim basis until a real coach can be hired?
Fuck this shit. Fuck Kimmy.
Fuck this shit. Fuck Kimmy.
I'm still not certain what they are doing on offense. I've seen some off ball screens but it's run poorly.

Kim doesn’t know shit about what a good basketball team looks like in practice.
He equates hustle to on court success. Never mind the eye candy test, the coaching, the shooting progress or the low post presence.
We have no shooters
We have no post presence.
Only way to raise our ceiling is 40 minutes of hell and a flex offense.
Otherwise we will struggle to be .500 even struggle to win 10 games.
This team is chock full of wing men with a midget PG and a PF who can hit the ocean.
The only thing I enjoyed was the effort and the extended d to push the tempo.
But if NIU can break the d imagine what a good team can do. We have to be more disciplined with the pressure d and install a motion offense because there is. I body to shoot or post and the lanes are just congested because of that.
We are in trouble. I do see a glimmer of hope but that hope is a 10 man rotation with full court defense with Wilson being a point d aka Bobby Jones so we can get his length and athleticism on the floor. Add the motion or flex offense and we just might put together a .500 season amd a few upsets

The Huskies shot poorly you say? When was the last time they didn’t? 16% from three is near their 5 year average.

This team will be better than last year. They still don’t have one guy that is any better on offense than a #3-4 option on a good team. They are going to struggle to score all year.
