Strengths and Concerns

|
- Quality guard play - UW is very deep at the guard
position. Allen, Conroy, and Robinson
- Athleticism - The Huskies have extremely good athletes
at every position; they are one of the most athletic teams in the
conference.
- Experience - Only two players (Allen and Conroy)
on the roster have two full seasons of Division I ball under their
belt
|
Nate
Robinson gives the Huskies an emotional boost off the bench.

Norz's Humble Prediction
A two game conference win streak plus a sold out, rowdy orange and black Gill
Coliseum plus a young team gaining confidence equals the Beavers climbing over
five hundred in Pac-10 play and extending their conference winning streak to
three.
