    Get destroyed by Oregon who is now certain they’re the best team in the conference.

    Beat the little beavlets by 2-5 at home. Special.

    Upset in the first game of the conf tourney.

    Cook it my daWgs.

    We were definitely punching above our weight through January. Credit goes to Hopkins and the team for that.

    Lunardi has us as the last four out. So win two and there's probably a 60-80% chance we're in. If we can make it to the final, it should be a lock. There are no locks after 2012 though.

    Lunardi hasn’t updated since UW lost to Oregon. UW has no at large shot, especially with being on the opposite side of the bracket from zona. P12 will get 3: zona, UCLA, usc...and whoever wins the conf tourney (if it’s not one of those 3).
    UW has a pretty good chance of getting in if they get to the final
    Wins over OSU and USC won’t be enough. Washington would be better off as an 8 seed. Beating Arizona in the second rd was the only thing going to bump up their resume. They have to win it all or they’ll be a top seed in the NIT.
    If they get to the final that means they'll beat OSU, USC and Utah. Utah is a bubble team also so it'll help their resume.

    Since the Arizona win, UW has been the 10th best team in the conference. They need to win it

    Utah also not a bubble team anymore. They need to win it to get in as well. UCLA winning at sc really screwed Utah and UW, not just because it put them into the field, but it moved Utah and uw over to the non-Zona (the only potential win that anyone on the committee would gaf about) side of the bracket.

    I'm sure ASU can figure out how to lose to colorado and play their way out of the tournament.

    Cool. Palm and Lunardi don't know shit at this point. They always adjust on the final weekend based on what they're hearing from their people on the committee, which is how they end up so "accurate".

    Utah isn't getting in unless they win the pac12. Neither is Washington. It's math at this point, unless you think that the P12 is going to be a 5 bid league, in which case, you dumb.

    While I realize that we would all prefer getting into the tournament would an NIT appearance mean more post-season experience at this point? Looking at this from a developmental standpoint for a young team, will it be better to make a deep NIT run than a one and done NCAA appearance?

    They did that long ago except the new fucktarded criteria doesn't consider your last 10 games. November games are just as important as yesterdays
