The Huskies play again tonight, and I think we're all hoping for a little less stress in this game. My heart can't take another first half like last night.
It is said that in back-to-back games that after the first night the team with more talent gains a big edge because the coaches have less time to gameplan and watch film on their opponents. For tonight, that is a very good thing, as the Huskies' talent completely dwarfs Stanford. Aside from Landry Fields and Jeremy Green, the Cardinal might not have a single player on their roster that could make UW's team if they were trying out. It's a testament to Johnny Dawkin's coaching ability that they've put together the season that they have.
The Huskies have done a good job of not letting Green and Fields go off against them this season, with credit going largely to Isaiah Thomas' defense on Green and Justin Holiday's on Fields. The thinking of a lot of fans is that UW should do a lot of pressing tonight, which I fully support. Stanford lacks a Pac-10 quality point guard and good presses have given them fits at times this year.
With any luck, the Dawgs will be more acclimated to their surroundings tonight and won't suffer from the early woes that plagued them last night. This is a must win, and a lackadaisical start could end the season.

Cal looks pretty well in control of UCLA after a shaky start
Still enough time for a UCLA run though.
That landing was how Evan Turner broke his backs
Scary

layins
If i counted right they missed 14 in a row including QPON uncontested. Made 3 out of 20 layins. BUT INCREDIBLE DEFENSE. WOW.
12 and 10!
I honestly have no idea at all, really. I don’t think it’ll be a top half seed either way, but any guess would be like throwing darts at a dart board.
Its a shot in the dark ...
…. and it also depends on where they put us. Where they want us to play matters a little more than what the seed # is when it comes to filling out the field.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
Seeding will be between 5 and 9
If we win the Pac 10 tournament we could move up to a 6 or 5th seed. If we lose vs. Cal in the Pac 10 tournament championship, I can see us in the 8 vs. 9 matchup. But I don’t think we’ll be seeded any lower the 9th.
I think Arizona State played themselves right out of the tournament. All they had to do was win one game in the Pac 10 tourament to ensure them a spot. Notice since they lost the opener most folks have ASU out? I expected us to get 3 teams invited to the dance, but with ASU coming out and looking flat- I think only Cal and Washington get invited. It’s too bad.
All I saw was purple
Way to go Darnell
Those were both magnificent

Lets Keep it Goin
Lets keep this momentum goin into the Ship!
Thomas did a hell of a job, once again, on Green
2-14 shooting. Overton also did very well harassing the ball.
They need a fast start vs Cal
no ding donging around on offense like the first two games. I had to turn off the the game vs OSU, I didn’t want to break my new LCD HD TV.
Gant has tremendous talent that we need to utilize in the future
Talk about a big man with athletism! I knew Gant could throw down, but I didn’t know he had all that creativity. We need to get this guy playing smaller! I know we’ve needed help down low, but if we can teach this guy how to play at a wing, this guy could just be awesome. He needs to work hard on his ball handling skills, and continue to improve on that mid range jumper. If Gant could get to that point he’d be the total package.
All I saw was purple
GANT
and everybody else on the team. Gaddy has so much potential with the sharp crisp passes but is still playing a little tenative. Playing them all is a win win situation especially for impressionable recruits watching on TV.
