That is a cop-out if I ever heard one. Making the tourney isn't that hard...and its probably not the best time to start this discussion with Florida being the current #1. Every conference has a couple teams good at both...Michigan, Florida, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan State, etc. to name a few...it ain't that hard. If fact its harder to put it together on the football side.ThomasFremont said:

HTH.
And we're below 50% at this poont.
But I know you're just trolling.
Hint: there's not very many
But I'll be honest...I couldn't give a flip what the BBall team does if our football team is good.
Great sample size though. -
Uninspired troll

We are not a basketball school because our athletic department has traditionally screwed the pooch on the roundball court for no good reason. Having said that, it's most obvious to also say that Huskyfans would rather throw basketball along with volleyball, baseball, softball, gymnastics, soccer, golf, crew, track, and tennis (have I left out any) into Lake Washington rather than suffer more losing football.
But since we must tolerate all Olympic intercollegiate sports in order to have football, the UW can have no excuse for not focusing on developing a championship caliber mens basketball program that would at least help defer the cost of all the non-revenue garbage that football must pay for. It is nonsensical for a football school and it's fans and boosters to think otherwise. -
What the fuck is happening?

Huh? I named 7 of the top of my head and I don't follow College Basketball...you can add Louisville, UCLA, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, and Baylor to that list as well if it makes you feel better. Basketball isn't that hard...the lazy way is just hiring a sleezebag coach that pays off AAU guys for recruits. I'm sure some people have a cleaner way to do it...heck even Oregon seems to be figuring it out. Its more a resource issue...BBall doesn't bring in the $$ the way football does so Athletic Departments don't care as much about it. Romar would be on the hot seat today if his crappy teams the last couple of years were costing the athletic department $10MM/yr...they aren't. When the stands get empty enough he'll decide to retire and we'll see what Pool Boy brings in next. If he cares, he'll spending the money and get a coach and have expectations. If he doesn't we'll get more of the same.ThomasFremont said:

DJ, it's time

I like to call basketball "roundball" like it's the only sport with a ball that's round. That's what I like to do.

I like to call roundball a basket for balls.
