Washingtons on the road, or AZ's at home?
It varies year by year of course, 2 years ago facing Mike Hopkin's loaded Washington team was not fun, and playing AZ when they had Ayton was never destined to go well, but for this year in particular, what do you think?
I think I'm biased since its the next step, but the Arizona's scare me more. They are generally well coached (idk whats up with Hurley this year) and have talented players though notably missing "superstars" this year. They both played us close earlier in the season; and ASU did so without some key players.
On the other hand, both teams are "small" and we have the athleticism to shut down ASU's talented guards and to disrupt AZ's offense. I don't foresee Tubelis having as stellar a game against us this time, and I think Evan's development into a more "dominant" player over the course of the season and Ethan's return to form helps us considerably on the defensive end.
With respect to offense, we are turning into a tough nut to crack. The UCLA film shows that you can't just jam up the middle without covering the guards. WSU demonstrated that Tahj is capable of being as lethal an offensive threat as Evan if not accounted for. The passing game between the Mobley's has developed considerably in the last month and I have yet to mention rebounding.
Wednesday marks the beginning of our 3 game homestretch, glad we don't have to wait to long for this next one. Let's take care of business.
Fight On!
