UW and the NCAA, can we dance?
Two years removed from being the number 1 seed in the West section of the NCAA tournament, UW now faces the possibility of not getting invited to this springs NCAA tournament with their 1-5 start in Pac-10 play. Right now, most experts are projecting that 6 or 7 teams out of the Pac-10 will be dancing in March, but can the Huskies get there?
Falling out of the coaches poll this week, and getting swept in the Bay Area, the Huskies return home this week for a showdown against the Oregon schools, and the Pac-10's hottest team, UofO, who won at Arizona last night. UW MUST WIN this ball game to have a shot at making the Big Dance. UW has little wiggle room as it tries to fill out it's resume for NCAA officials come March. First off though, we have to travel to Pullman and face a STRONG Washington State Cougars team that has defeated Gonzaga and Arizona this year and are ranked #21 in this week's coaches poll. UW must win this game against a quality opponent on the road...
UW's non-conference schedule will come back to hurt the Huskies in the RPI, and in final determination of who gets a bid into the tournament. This week, Coach Romar admitted he wished he had played one or two more road games before the Pac-10 season started to acclimate his young team to the hostile road crowds.
UW can pull itself into the tourney. But they must start NOW!
