It's season two of the Hoops Show! Jack McCauley joins former Husky players Jason Crandall and Noah Dickerson to recap the UNLV exhibition win, the season schedule, and expectations for this year's Hoop Dawgs.

With a new year and only two returning players (Franck Kepnang and Zoom Diallo), UW Head Coach Danny Sprinkle had a huge recruiting task in front of him. And he produced one of the nation's best transfer classes

The guys go straight into UW's 77-62 exhibition win over UNLV where they saw the new group for first time. Yes, there were some guys missing, but they each gave their thoughts.

Noah spent time with a number of the players over summer playing with them and getting to know them. He offered thoughts on players we didn't get to see, as well as other observations.

Jack asked Jason and Noah about the recent alumni events, including checking out the new hoops facility. How has it all impacted the culture?

After a quick break, Jack then goes into a scheduele overview, first into the non-conference part and then into the Big Ten Conference schedule.

The three then go into their overall expectations for the team and also go around and predict the opening night starting lineup. The season starts a week from today as UW hosts Arkansas Pine-Bluff.

They also talk about an 'X factor' for the season. What could that be?
