    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.

    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.

    ID22 has Pac-12 basketball dialed in.

    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.

    Definitely calling bullshit on this. Romar's players love him for a reason, and it sure as hell ain't his coaching.

    His character isn't in question. His ability definitely is.

    Defense has never been a problem under Romar Aubs, but there's only so many fast breaks off turnovers. Romar has NEVER had a disciplined and organized offensive unit, and 5, 6-6 swings won't get you to the final 4

    I'm aware his players love him. The ones that come to the dub pretty much always do. This is a guy in coaching who competed with him for recruits.

    I also know one of the better recent players and I can tell you that he has nothing but respect for Romar.

    Why is anyone getting excited? UW is horrible. And like EVERY YEAR, it's because we have nobody down low. Nobody can play around the basket. Time to nip this shit in the bud! Stop this madness

    you're probably right, but since Simmons came back they've played some really good basketball. Only loss being to #1 Arizona in Tuscan in a game they led late in the game. If they win @Cal tonight you can start talking tourney. They have a quality win and a win that can become a quality win if ASU improves 9 spots into the top 50

    Don't have a good feeling about tonight. Hope I am wrong but I feel Cal will beat us by 15-20.
    I think we'll lose but it'll be close. We're 8.5 point underdogs and I think that's about right
