Joe Lunardi says UW is in TROUBLE
Here is the opening paragraph to Joe Lunardi's column on ESPN.com's INSIDER. I don't have a subscription to the INSIDER, because most of ESPN is garbage on poop, but I was checkin out what they had to say about UO and their "inspiring" tale.
"Someone, somewhere, found it in his heart to give Washington two votes in this week's ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll. And why not? In the category "most likely to give away tight games by not guarding the other team," the Huskies definitely are Top 25 material."
OUCH!
Here are some other stats from his column that I got access too...doesn't look good for UW...
Consider:
• Washington is 1-5 in the Pac-10 and leads only woeful Arizona State (0-6) in the conference standings.
• The Huskies have lost six of their last 10 games and are an even more distressing 0-5 on the road.
• UW is 0-4 against InsideRPI Top 50 teams and must carry the additional burden of a No. 225 NonConf SOS.
No. 225 is not a good place to be....

On the plus side on SI.com Luke Winn is slurping the Cougs, 15-3, pretty solid. Saturday in Pullman should be fun!
I noticed that next year UW has to travel to Okla St. Did you see the OSU v Texas game? That's going to be a tough one on the road. Especially after Hawes leaves for the NBA, though maybe he can play himself out of the draft this season.
I think given 0-4 verse InsiderRPI top50, 225 NonConfSOS, and 9th in the PAC-10 I might have been a little too hopeful with my earlier post:
NIT! NIT! N! I! T! Yeah Baby!
Catch the fever...
