Techincally, the regular season is 26 games in length. Yes, I see the exhibition game in the schedule to make a 27 game season, but the game tonight do not count in the final standings.
I look at this team and I see a lot of potential from the backcourt. I see Brian Morris lost a lot of weight and looks good heading into this season. There are some good things that has potential for the upcoming season.
I will outline this a little more in the preview, but I think one key this season will be the defense and toughness. The last few years, the Lumberjacks have been more of a soft team that does not like to bang down low in the blocks. Also, I think the team at times have been too dependent on the three point shot. For Humboldt State to have a great season, I think the Lumberjacks need to bring a blue collar attitude onto the court each night and see where it goes from there.
A Premlinary projection for wins right now before this exhibition game, I would say 18 to 19 wins before the conference tournament. That would translate to the team having to win a couple of games in the conference tournament to make the West Regionals for the 10th time in 11 years.
