Looking ahead to the Pac-10 tourney

If the Pac-10 season ended today, UW would enter the Pac-10 tourney as the 7th seed. Which begs us here at Hec Heads to look at the road to the promise land, the NCAA's.

I want to say, if we have to play in the play in game, I want to be the 7th or 10th seed. We won't end up 10th, so it will have to be the 7th seed.

We would begin by playing Arizona State, and in round two...

Washington vs. Washington State...

Round 3!

Man, wouldn't that be fun. I would find it hard to believe that Washington State has ever beaten UW three times in a season, so the history odds will be on our side in round 2.

If we get by round 2, then it will be USC or Arizona. USC has beaten Arizona both times this season by sizeable amounts, so I would expect USC to win this game. But, as the old addage says, it is hard to beat a team three times in a season.

I would love to see another match-up against Washington State. The lack of respect WAZZU anf their fans showed in the Bank of America Arena, UW is probably dying to get another shot. After seeing the team play tonight against PITT, I think UW is going to start to win these games here pretty quickly. A back to back win in Oregon, and a double wins in Seattle against the SoCal schools, UW could be RED HOT entering the Pac-10 tourney.
