Game Preview: Stanford vs. UW
In another back against the wall game for the young pups, UW must avenge another tough loss in the Bay area that UW let go of down the stretch. The key will be scoring inside with Brockman and Hawes against the Lopez Twins. In the previous meeting, Hawes was sick, and Brockman carried all the inside scoring. UW's huge advantage this game is playing at Bank of America Arena, where they are 14-1 this year. After watching a little of the Stanford/WSU game last Thursday, Stanford, like UW, is a much better home team for the same reason UW is, they are young. Hopefully the Dawg Pack will rally this afternoon, and totally destroy the young Cardinal's confidence.
Can UW climb itself above 7th in the conference? It is a question asked today by Bob Condotta on his blog. It offers a realistic view of the Husky's final Pac-10 games, and what Husky fans should hope for, which includes Oregon fading down the stretch. The same Oregon fade that was commented by fellow blogger Bobby Jones 2.0 in a column before UW's game against UO last month, in which UW won against an Aaron Brooks-less Oregon team.
Today's game remains very important to UW's hope to get into the NCAA tournament. Can UW get into the NCAA's even if it wins out? That remains to be seen. A strong finish, and two or three wins in the Pac-10 tourney would most certainly help their cause. Things to look for today will be Quincy Pondexter's effectiveness after flapping his jaw in the press this week about the possibility of leaving UW for the NBA after this season. I hope it does not lead to Q-Pond from forcing shots, and trying to make huge plays to show that he is ready for the NBA.
I will be at the game this afternoon, and I will have a full report of action this evening after I return from Montlake.
