You will receive no easy road games.....
"...but on your death bed, you will receive total consciousness."
Maybe by dying a litte, UW gained a litte. By hitting rock bottom, only then could UW stop laying to themselves and everyone that things were going to be alright. Maybe by dying, you can lose the identity of your former self, and return as your own team, your own legacy. UW died in Pullman, they were reborn in Seattle.
UW is now lead by the person who has been through the largest trails and tribulations this season, Justin Dentmon. Life without Brandon Roy was harder then it ever seemed it was going to be. Turnovers, bad shooting nights, and a brusing of the "EGO" has been life for Dentmon over the past month. Over the previous two games, Dentmon has slashed, scrapped, and dug his was out of his hole, and back into the starting line. Roy is gone, Dentmon had to learn on his own, how to run this Husky tea.
UW's last two games have revived what some where calling a lost season, a total failure, a waste of Spencer Hawes' only NCAA season. After two wins, and 180 points in two games, this new-look Husky squad must travel to valley of the shadow of death to face what might be the worst of all villians written in the chapters of this year's story of turnarounds, comebacks, and NCAA births; the road.
"The road is fuckin' hard,
It's also really fuckin' tough,
There's no question that,
It don't take no guff.
The road is a be-a-itch my friend"
Tenacious D put it right, the road is fuckin' tough, but it is the only fuckin road I know. UW knows what is has to do now...it must win. Win or your season is done after the Pac-10 tourney. Let us not talk about NIT's, or wasting Hawes, but let us talk about turnarounds, NCAA tournament games, and beating Arizona State and Arizona on the road.
Baby steps to a NCAA birth. The first step is Thursday, Arizona State on the road. Win there, and UW will have won its first road game of the season, and in return, shoot the monkey dead that once was on their backs. Up after that is a STRUGGLING Arizona team that has begun suspending players about this time every year.
Seems to me, this is the best time to travel to the desert.
