After an idle week, the Huskies open Pac-12 play in Seattle against UCLA on Thursday and USC on Sunday. The Bruins come to Hec-Ed on a three-game losing streak and only 7-6 for the year. They have losses to Hofstra and Cal State-Fullerton. It’s the first year on the job for Mick Cronin, who had consistently good teams at Cincinnati, so it’s hard to put the blame at his feet. They still have seven players on their roster who were rated as top-100 recruits coming out of high school, but the damage done during Steve Alford’s tenure will take time to reverse.
