I saw Texas Tech play Northwestern State yesterday. They look like a good team, but we should still be able to handle them. Their center is a skinny Serbian with a good jump hook, but no strength. The huskies are a much more quick, athletic team. The best thing Tech has going for them is their tall guards, but they’re prone to turnovers.

Don’t know anything about A&M yet, but I’d expect them to be pretty good as they only lost Elonu from last year’s NCAA team.

Georgetown will be the toughest game of the preseason by far IMHO. They have pretty good size. They aren’t huge, but they’re long and can block shots.

I absolutely love your blog, keep up the great work, the frequency and quality of the posts are impressive. One small suggestion: It would be an honor if you would be willing to refer to our gym as “Hec Ed” or “Hec Edmondson”. I realize that the renaming/branding of the facility was a necessity to get the funding to make it as nice as it is, but the corporate association is revolting to me, and many fans are unwilling to fully embrace the Bank of America name. Thanks in advance for considering.

Right Brett, next year we are in the Maui Classic plus the Big 12/Pac 10 series. We are fine.

We all knew about the schedule going into the season. Why are we complaining about it now?

I agree with oldtacomadawg… are we really going to be ready to play a big time team when faced with one? Playing “cupcake #4″ is a great way to be 4-0, but learn very little about this team.

Can we rebound with Quincy at the 4? Should Gant get more minutes? Is Suggs ready? Gaddy or Venoy? Can Holiday really be an offensive threat? These are questions that have to be answered so that adjustments can be made… These first three (and tonight will be #4) are a lot of fun to watch, but they do very little in answering these questions.

I am not necessarily in favor of playing UNC and Kentucky every night, because that could have a negative affect on our psyche…still, we need to start scheduling teams that are at least capable of beating us early in the season.

How about a Huskies vs. Zags game in November next season? Is that not the no-brainer of all time?

Also, keep an eye on Wright St. They were no gimmes at all.

Gonzaga has a tough schedule no doubt but usually the Pac 10 prepares us. This year the pac 10 will hurt our RPI big time. We will have to beat Georgetown, Texas A&M and not have a let down against Texas Tech. We really have to lose zero or one non conference games to keep a decent RPI.

Hmmm…. Cupcake #4, delivered to our doorstep. Too much sugar? Not enough meat? Meanwhile, the Zags get national recognition for having the balls (basketballs of course) to visit East Lansing and come within 4 points of a major upset. I worry that our lame non-conf schedule is not going to prepare us to get past the 2nd round of the Big Dance.
