Thanks.

wow...good damn game goin on

HELL YES!!!!!!!!
Great game...Go Dawgs

That last shot was something. Nice look, IT.

Congrats to the Dawgs. Time to dance.

Wow... that was pretty sweet. Clutch 3's to send it to OT... then IT sayin', "It's mine..."

Hell ya that was a game!! Just wish MBA could figure out how to score when he's got the ball within 3 ft of the hoop?? MY GOD!!

Bring on the dance!

Boy that was cool, how big is Chucks grin about now?

Bout as big as mine!!

Hollywood has made movies about teams and seasons that were less exciting than this year's Huskies. Only a few days ago Coach Romar was quoted as saying this season has been his most difficult. That had to make what happened over the last three days all the sweeter. Too bad they don't pick the league's top player and all PAC-10 teams AFTER the league tournament. Glad you got to see three great games, and one of the all time best performances by a Husky player ever, Chuck.

Nice win for the Dawgs but its all about The Dance...Dawgs probably escaped the dreaded 8/9 seed and should probably land around 6/7 which gives them a chance for the Sweet 16. Another big benefit is they might get to stay in the West Bracket instead of a cross country trip...GO PAC 10!

CBS cut away from the post game celebration so quickly, there was no time for interviews with players or comments from the coaches. Here's the post game conference with Sean Miller and Derrick Williams, followed by Lorenzo Romar, IT, MBA and Terrence Ross.

Both Husky Pac 10 Tourney games were very exciting to watch, though I only got to watch the second half in both games. That last shot by IT was absolutely clutch. How many guys were wondering when he was going to start his drive? I wonder how many times as a kid or even later he went through that scenario in his mind and practiced it on the court?

A couple of areas of improvement they need to make for The Dance.

Improve free throw shooting.

Cut back on turnovers. The guards at times get a little sloopy with handling the ball. I saw too many steals by the opposing defense.

Need more paint scoring by the posts. They have a pretty decent inside game with IT drive penetrating at the top of the key and dishing to MBA . Shooting 3's is streaky and can be risky if they don't fall. Need to have a good solid inside game when they aren't falling so you can still score points and keep the pressure on.

Should be fun.

They played three games DaveD... you certainly got your money's worth Chuck!

IT just flat out played his butt off...he is one of the toughest kids I've ever seen play. I swear he musta hit the deck 30 times in the tourney.

Low post play? We basically have none. MBA is just a wuss....I've never seen a guy so big play so small. A team with any size and good low post play will beat UW...book it.

The guy who impressed me the most was Ross...he really played well. Wilcox is probably a better pure shooter, but Ross brings more overall game on the court.

Now we sit and wait and see if UW gets rewarded or screwed. I think they played their way into at least a 7 seed and earned the right to stay out west...but you never know.

Yeah, I forgot about Oregon. They are easy to forget.

There are times when MBA actually plays some decent offense. He has some decent moves...just need to be more consistent and not immediately go 3-balling as soon once they miss down low.

Dawgs get the #7 seed and have to go to Charlotte. If they win in round one they get North Carolina with a home court. Sweet 16 is a dream...

I think we got blessed by getting Georgia as our first opponent...they are not a #10, they should be a 13 or 14...and then got screwed by having to play UNC in the second round, since I think they have a legit shot to go all the way...oh, well...could be worse, at least we're there and have a better than even chance to win a game.

A month ago if someone told me the PAC-10 was going to have four teams, and that WSU wouldn't be one of them, I would have said they were crazy...and while I would have liked to see WSU make the tourney, the fact of the matter is, they Cooged it, big time. Too many losses, and too many crappy losses down the home stretch...they're a better team than that.

Fish on...

Todd

Flashback.

How'd that prediction turn out, Eeyore?

GO DAWGS!!

Well, looks like we got screwed...again. Thanks committee, for making us fly all the way to Charlotte to play UNC on their home away from home court! UNC and Duke are the poster teams for the NCAA and it drives me effn nuts. Like the 1st round game against Georgia and UNC really doesn't scare me that much, I just hate WHERE we have to play them.

In the ACC Tourney UNC won their first game on a last second shot after being down by 15+ points in the second half. Had to come back from way down in their second game too. Then Duke kicked their butts today. I think UNC is a perfect matchup for UW and therefore I like their chances of making the Sweet 16.

Ike

Hey Beezer Geezer, I think Dawgs got screwed... its right in Georgias back yard as well but hey give em hell and see what happens.

UGA is close to home, but they aren't that good. UNC has also shown weakness. Good matchups in a bad location for UW.

Could be worse.
