    What was UW's record when they got shut out of the tournament two years ago? They must have been at least 13 and 5 because I remember they won the Pac-10 regular season.

    the pac-12 was historically bad that year. I'd put almost no stock in that.
    I think 13-5

    Its a shame UW had another absolutely terrible OOC season. They're gonna have to be almost perfect to make the tourney where they could have had sSome breathing room had they beaten some of those powerhouses like UC Irvine

    They dug a hole, but it's not that dire. They can probably get in with a 12-6 conference season. Fire Marshall Bill had it right. LIPO, and most likely, TSIO. They started hot in conference last year too.

    12-6 will not get them in. RPI dreckfest. Gonna need 14-4, at least, baring a run to the conference tourney title game.

    TSIFO

    You would know more about it than I would, but that would surprise me. 20-11, 12-6 and they don't get it? Every team that went 12-6 in conference got in last year. Even a 10-8 one did. Isn't the Pac 12 considered better this season? 4 Pac 12 teams were in the top 26 in RPI entering today. Last year, there was only one team in the top 26.

    The conference is definitely better than last year, but as our recent conference championship should tell you, it's not just about where you finish in conference. Your own profile matters, and UW's non conference is dreadful. Perhaps there's a perfect combination of wins that could get UW in with a 12-6 record but I can't imagine what it would be. Not getting UA at home is a killer for a team with as much profile work to do as UW.

    13-5 with any trip to the title game probably does it. 12-6 would need a win over UA in the tourney to get there, I think.

    5 non conference losses without a single top 100 non conference win is really hurting. BC's RPI right now is 182.

    OTOH, I didn't realize Colorado's RPI was so strong (8 before today). That should help a lot. UW needs CU to stay strong and find a way to win at their place. Doesn't seem likely.

    I know. I meant UA doesn't visit BOA this year. We were never beating them in Tucson, but Romar is typically very good against the top conference teams at home. Missing that game really hurts when your profile is borderline.

    Yeah it was very bad, but it was still a surprise. With my very limited knowledge of this yr's RPI, SOS etc., it seems we need at least 11 wins.

    Guys last year I think UW started off like 5-0 or something stupid like that and ended up sucking.

    I think this is still an NIT team.

    Just be happy we have a good coach in Peterman and football is serious again.

    Conferences don't get bids, teams do.

    Washington's OOC performance was a total fucking dreckfest.

    News Flash:

    Outside of Arizona, the Pac 12 is terrible this year and their RPI rankings will continue to drop. The only "signature" win left on most of their schedules is Zona.

    RPI is at 76.
    Their biggest stretch is upcoming, they just got a top twenty five RPI win (CU will not stay a top 10 team without dinwiddie)
    @CAL RPI 34
    @STAN RPI 58
    ORE RPI 22

    They are playing great D, and Wilcox has matured into a very good player.

    Romar stripped his program down to bare wood and is rebuilding. And the job appears to be ahead of schedule.

    Okay....... but after more strippings and re-varnishings that we should remember, who the fuck still cares? Why wait until tournament selection time to declare 2014 another failure for Husky basketball? Declare it now and wait to be surprised. Need to face the truth..... nice guy Romar is not a good recruiter nor an elite basketball coach.

    I've heard from a pretty legitimate source that Romar is actually a sleazy douche. That the humble religious coach guy is a ploy and that the kids mostly see through it.

    That is bullshit. I know a few players from the past few years and most of them think Romar is not a very good coach, but they respect him and think he is a good man. Justin Holliday is the only player I know who thinks otherwise. If they thought Romar was a sleazy douche, the NBA and other pro guys wouldn't come back and play at UW every Summer.

    He's a sleazy douche troll trying to make humble religious coaches look bad?
