7:00pm Kickoff in Seattle.

So much more at stake than just State bragging rights. Hopefully the Cougs will get the invite to the dance after tonight's win.

GO COUGS!!!

Mf

It's after 5:00pm Chuck.... Have fun at the game.

GO COUGS!!!

Mf

I'd be surprised if the Huskies don't win.

raise the roof!! Dawgs will dine on coug meat tonight. Ucla next as Arizona stumbles. The cougs will be lucky to get a backdoor NIT invite

Jeebus...what an ugly game so far...both teams have more turnovers than points...the Dawgs are getting good looks, just missing like crazy...they better start hitting soon!

Fish on...

Todd

Garbage ball.

These teams are playing like crap.

11-8 final score.... Cougs win.... Beautiful

GO COUGS!!!

Mf

24-17 COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUGS

I called Chuck....got his voice mail. @&%$*@ was all I got. lol

GO COUGS!!!

Enough "D" for the invite?

Mf

Damn...that was the worst half of basketball that either of those teams has played all year...24-17? For real? FFS, the Huskies are the second highest scoring team IN THE GODDDAAMMNN NATION.

Fukmerunnin'.

Todd

1St half was Cougar text book. Props to Ken!

Reggie Moore's playing nice and mellow tonight....

Clay's playing so so.

And the pups are playing pretty good. DOH

GO COUGS!!!

MF

Chuck at the game and probably a little irritable now

Romars got to figure out how to run a good offense... Anytime the Dawgs can't control the tempo and play a good defensive squad they get torched...

If Huskies can run n gun, they can beat just about anyone...

I am gonna text him right now, GO COUGS!

Even though this game is really badly played by both teams...here come the Dawgs...big run, down by seven

Fish on...

Todd

Ooohhh...and a steal on the inbounds, and foul #4 on Thompson. I like it!

Fish on...

Todd

No problem

Go Cougs!

This game makes me want to go out and find the neighbors' cats and kick 'em around the yard a bit.

Fish on...

Todd

This Husky team is crap.

I thought we got you over the hump Dan. The Husky's played good, my COUGS played better.

Good game pups.

GO COUGS!!!

Mf

Still waiting for the big revenge beat down. Live and die by the 3. BTW Cougs shot about 24 for 26 from the line tonight. GO COUGS!! See you guys in the tourney in 2 weeks.

How about those COUGS WSU fans?

Downed the Zags....and swept the pups....

We'll be awaiting the invite to the dance COUGAR NATION!

GO COUGS!!!

Mf

Texted Chuck, he is ok. He said something about the game not meaning anything. However, I got the sense that his butt cheeks and jaw are clentched pretty tight.

Love it, even though I hate the Cougs. So tired of the one dimensional dawgs with their no energy, no defense, no offense, posing, tattooed drama queens. Play basketball, period. Romar needs to go, seriously, nothing changed the entire game......motivation, game plan, offense, intensity. They worked the ball down low a couple times to start the seond half....good.........then left it. And continued to play weak sister defense.

Thompson and Casto kicked arse! Go Cougs!

Mf

Romar did a really fine job of getting those boys ready to play. You can see what an MBA is worth from the UW.

As ugly as the first half was the second half was entertaining.

Nice win Cougs!!!

GO COUGS!!!

If the Huskies are going to get beat in basketball, I'd rather see them lose to the Cougs, even though it is hard for me to write that. Didn't watch the game...followed play by play on ESPN. It's a crappy way to follow the game and you never really get into the feel of it with the momentum changes, intensity, hustle, etc. The stats don't always tell the game but looks like the Dawgs shot horrible (and had too many turnovers) and the Cougs made their free throws.

Congrats on beating us both times this year.

You can still watch it. FSN is replaying it right now.

No cable and they shut down my streaming site. Otherwise, as rediculous as it sounds, I probably would watch it if possible, just to see some of the action. But I gotta work tomorrow.

Romar has no reason to get amped up, dude cannot coach an offense to save his life. He should thank Isaiah because hes the only one who creates offensively.

PAC10 refs are always trash. But when you shoot 34 %, miss free throws, and have more turnovers than assists, your not going to win games. These losses all fall on Romar. Look at our losses against WSU, Stanford, Oregon oregon state and texas a&m, it's all the same story. Stagnant half court offense. I know the stats say that the Huskies are a top offensive team in the nation, but when they play someone who can slow them down into a half court game, they struggle. Also, playing all your non conference games against cupcake teams at home doesn't help a team prepare or get better. Sure pads the stats though if thats what your into. I could give a flying fvck if the Huskies were dead last in scoring as long as they were winning.

Romar's offenses have always been SH!T when they can't run and control the tempo. Half court offense is something that Romar cannot coach.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, Romar isn't a great x's and o's coach and games like tonight continue to prove that he misses having a guy like Ken Bone on his bench as an assistant. Out of the three D1 basketball programs within the state (WSU Gonzaga UW) Romar is the 3rd best coach of the group. I'd take Few or Bone as my coach down the stretch in a close game.

Just embarrassing to be a Husky fan. They don't deserve a tourney invite after the last month IMO. As much as I respet what Romar has done, he's the one driving the bus with his guys....and they're not getting it done. Wasted opportunities.

If any non-fan had to watch that game, it had to be THE fugliest NCAA basketball game ever seen.........I think Bone came in with a good game plan and his gang was more focused the the puppies. Helluva free throw seminar!

Let's sweep them southern Kalifornia schools this week

OK, it is official I am a "Delusional Coogs" woke up with a smile on my face, had a dream the Cougs had just swept the PAC 10 Champs, soon to be Final Four Dawgs, with the Pac 10 player of the year........No can't be! With the team leadership of a scholar athlete... IT and the often persecuted If not prosecuted VO ................must have been the fans on the court.

No, but they also have not had the talent that Romar has had, and usually underachieved with. Give Bone or Few those players and I'd be willing to bet that they would have much more success, particularly in the NCAA tournament...

Romar didn't shoot 22% in the first half, his players did as a result of his piss poor offensive schemes.

It doesn't really count as "piss poor offensive schemes" when they had open look, after open look, after open look, and failed to sink the shots. If they had, we'd have been up by 20 at halftime, and everyone would be saying what a great offensive performance they had, again.

Fish on...

Todd

Congrats to the Coogers for making the Final Four.

What is that..............all this smack is being rattled just because they beat the Dawgs?





Get over yourselves already.

It does, because as a coach do you continue to let your players take outside shots if they aren't falling?

How about attack the hoop or push the ball down low to your bigs and look for higher percentage shots? Much better option than continuing to look for shots that aren't falling. romar gives no offensive direction to his players

What an ugly game...gotta hand it to Boner, his half court defense was superb yesterday. Congrats to WSU for sweeping the Dawgs this year.

But in the bigger scheme of things, UW is headed to the Big Dance while WSU is NIT bound. In fact, even if the Coogs win out AND win a game or two in the Pac-10 tourney, I don't think they will get the invite...they will have to win the tournament and get the auto bid to make the Dance. They really shot themselves in the foot by losing against lowly ASU.

They could not take the ball inside because Ken Bone, and everyone else in the world knows that MBA is a pussy. He puts on the mean face, but when he plays physical opponents (regardless of their athleticism) he gets cowed. In the run and gun he is a good asset at forward. N'dai is a good piece, but his skill set and game knowledge is really rough still.

If the outside shots aren't falling, UW cannot rely on their forwards to create offence when the D is physical.

I am still a Romar fan. He has brought winning philosophy to UW. It is nice to have a consistently good squad to watch.

Then keep taking it inside to the bigs or drive/attack and shoot higher percentage shots. Not only that but you can draw fouls and get to the line. Sure as hell don't agree with throwing up 28 3balls when they aren't falling.

Wsu wasn't any better offensively but they worked it inside, drew fouls and made free throws. They made 17 more than uw did. That's the game right there

Your definition of a poor offensive night for uw is what I call a one dimensional offensive team

MBA is either good, or awful...and he was awful last night. N'Daye sure is hell isn't a scoring threat...he scored two straight buckets and it was the highlight of his career as an offensive player.

We have shooters, and we have two guards who drive the lane and dish it to them...when we shoot, we win. Unfortunately none of our shooters were hitting, they all had bad days.

Told the wife after the game, "I'm taking tomorrow off from work, I'm observing the COUG Sabbath..."

I wish I'd been there last night for joining in on the Clay Thompson chants "ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR!" Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.

GO COUGS!!!

Come on Chucky, don't get delusional on me.

Stats are relative to who you've put them up against. As the case with the Huskies, they are playing in a mediocre Pac 10 and haven't really faired all that well all things considered...

If you look at the Huskies season, sure they've put up points, but the stats are inflated cause they've played sh!tty teams. They don't have one good nonconference W, have only one good win against AZ at home and have struggled in a bad Pac 10. Put the Huskies in a stronger basketball conference and you won't get such inflated numbers because they aren't playing a bunch of cupcake teams all year..

Stats are nice if thats what your into. At the end of the day, the record is the most important and that is what teams and coaches are graded on... Stats are nice if you can win to back them up, but they don't mean $hit when you can't defend your home court over the cougs

St Johns I don't understand. They figure out how to beat a few great teams but still have some losses that make you wonder how the efff they can be so inconsistent.
