Game preview: Saint Martins vs. THE HUSKIES!
When thinking of this game, it reminds me of a skit on Saturday Night Live called the "Super Fans". A bunch of fat guys (Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Norm from Cheers) who sit around and discuss their love for all things Chicago, especially 'Da Bears (I know, still a touchy subject in Seattle coming off that Sunday night game, too soon?). Anyways, there would always be a part of the show where they would discuss the upcoming game for 'Da Bears. It would go something like this: Who do you got in the Bears-Cardinals game coming this weekend? (In Chicago accent) Well Bob, Bears 130, Cardinals 3! And that would be how about everyone would predict how the game would turn out!
Well, this game is going to be right along those lines. UW 125, Saint Martins 57. This should be an absolute blow out in Hec Ed. And that is why Romar scheduled it so. Romar has been a genius over the past couple years getting his team into powder-puff games to get the team on the same page before facing LSU on December 20th.
The thing to look for in this game is where Romar goes with his starting line-up, and what he does with the shooting guard position. Who starts, Appleby, Oliver, Perry? All I know is that with Brockman, Hawes, Pondexter, and Dentmon on the floor to start the game, having a defensive rogue on the floor might not be a bad thing since there will be plenty scoring on the floor. Appleby off the bench is very lethal. Appleby was consistently able to come off the bench last year and drain a couple threes with the second unit on the floor to keep our leads or hold enough until Brandon Roy got back on the floor.
I also want to see how Brockman inserts himself into the Husky offense. Last year he seemed very timid, and played a very solid team game, hardly looking for his own offense. By being named Team Captain, hopefully he will fill comfortable to fill out his own stat sheet on the offensive end. Hawes will score, he lit it up in Summer Ball, and Brockman may get better looks with Hawes on the court.
Anyways, I haven't really said anything about this game, because well, it is not a game. It is a feast to build confidence for his young players. Go forth and eat young Huskies, go forth and learn how to hunt, learn how to kill, fill your young bellies with Saint Martin flesh.
