Cuz it’s not like he’s gonna play and what could be more fun than having a front row seat to watching your team play in the tourney. Plus San Jose isn’t all that far away from Humboldt county, so he’d have his pick of choice crops.

the final OT will be 3 on 3 from foul outs.
But I got Trent. And the pundits say a deep bench doesn’t matter.
Q will set the NCAA tourney record
scoring 70 points and IT will go for 34.
Has this gotten out of hand yet?
Nice prediction...Jack ass
Sure you got the differential right, but you missed the total points by ten! Some fan you are!

30 minutes from end of previous game
They wrapped up the Butler vs, UTEP game at about 10 after so about 4:50 game start…

If you can't pronounce the (easy) name of one of the best players in the nation
Get out of the fucking business.

Blocks 3 0
Turnovers 3 1
Personal Fouls 2 2
Huskies leading in all catagories besides steals…good omen even though we don’t have the lead.
Bad move by Q
but that’s gonna be our real key to victory is forcing them to use their below average bench.
When are they going to start missing 3s? damn!

I'm not sure that Williams uses his bench much at all
even if his guys are tired. They’re rotation is only 6 deep, 7 if they’re in trouble.
We've GOT to tighten up this D
rushing these guys is clearly not throwing off their shooting rhythm.
Man - how am I supposed to work right now?
When I have the game on TV right above my head.
Sorry customers – you get to wait!
Maybe the cheapie and a free throw
will get Q’s head in the game. He’s thinking too much.
Followed by another miss...
I love Q, but this is a problem.
I don't see them being able to maintain their 3 point percentage
but you never know
by seattle_since_81 on Mar 18, 2010 5:45 PM PDT up reply actions
They're at 64% for the half
they’ll regress below 55%. Even then, that’s huge and it’ll be tough to win.
Q needs to turn it around in the second half
FG 1-7
FT 2-6
He’s rebounding and playing good defense. But with Overton in foul trouble they need Q’s midrange jumper and drives to the basket.
Yeah tell me about it
If UW wins (or loses by 1) hits 70 points and both teams get to 159 I’ll be able to cover all my bad bets (I lost on Vandy by 2 earlier)
Na
I think they’re 3 point shooting will regress and Q is a second half player. I still feel good about the win.
Yeah
I put 8 units on over @ 143 when the game opened and I put more on over @ 159 on an in-game bet. This could put me back to even for the day after a miserable run.
Now I know why depth doesn't matter in the postseason...
the 5 minute commercial breaks are a nice breather for a team running out only 7 guys.
It will...
hopefully the dawgs aren’t too far down at that point.
Overton on a fast break?!?!
Soothing? More like jump off the couch have a heart attack because he appears to be totally out of control!
Let's go Dawgs!!!!
Let’s make the Big East look even more foolish!
Got to love being a fan
Get really pissed when your team is squandering opportunities quickly changes in to raucousness when they start hitting shots and playing quality D!

Awesome!!!
Maybe this will shut up those who argue that a team from the Big East is inherently tougher than a west coast team… maybe?
No doubt
I just like that they didn’t quit. But I have no hope that east coast bias types will give up their ‘tough’ meme.
And they got to 143...and 70 respectively
Now I just need them to win and get to 159 and I can sleep well tonight.
Come one Q-Pon, finish out strong. I don't want this to be your last game

Pretty sure we don't want any game to be his last
Unless it’s him hoisting the national championship above his head

Yeah haha, saying Washington won't even make it and now they look like a possible sweet 16 team maybe more.
The top 10 team we’ve been looking for has finally showed up at the right time!

Lunardi said that Marq would win this game and that it "may not be close".
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
I thought that was going in.
Holy crap that was a rush.
Great game, Huskies!
That was fun to watch, and it was good to see someone sticking up for the Pac -10. Good luck on Saturday!

Any of you know how good New Mexico is and how they play? Haven't watched them play this season, and its a good chance that they will be our next opponent.
Beginning of the Sarkisian ERA
I'll just paste this from MontlakeMadness
(don’t worry, I wrote it, so I’m only plagiarizing myself)
What They Do Well: The Lobos are a phenomenal defensive rebounding team, allowing opponents to get offensive rebounds just 26.9% of the time (fifth best in the nation). They’re one of those teams that does pretty much everything well: they’re above average at shooting the three, they block shots, they don’t turn the ball over and they get to the free throw line.
Weaknesses: Their free throw shooting leaves something to be desired (67.7%) and like Marquette, you can score inside the arc against them (allowing opponents to shoot 49.1% from two).
How They Match Up: Because New Mexico does so many things well, they’re a tough matchup for most teams. Since Lorenzo Romar arrived at UW, the Dawgs have hung their hat on their offensive rebounding, yet that’s one of the things that New Mexico is best at preventing. Should the Huskies meet New Mexico, scoring inside would be key, so it would be imperative for Matthew Bryan-Amaning to stay out of foul trouble.
Thank you!

Alot like MU
less good shooters and a couple bigger guys.
Mostly stick to the perimeter and rely on streaky shooting. Another good matchup. They’re only rated 46 by kenpom, I’m only 51% confident they even get past a scrappy Montana team.
The Big East is now 1-3 so far - Greg Gumble
He totally kept us in the game
Without his contribution, Quincy wouldn’t have the chance to score the game winner.
by seattle_since_81 on Mar 18, 2010 7:19 PM PDT up reply actions
How about Elston Turner?
That kidcould beis specialin the next couple years.
Fixed that for you.
The Big East is now 1-3 so far - Greg Gumble
Really though, next to MBA
he’s the most improved player over the course of the season.

Holiday.
Really, we’ve had a lot of improvement this season though. If only Gant hadn’t regressed.
Amazing.
I feel so fricking good now. And Lehigh is up 12-4 over KU.
As much as I'd love to see a 1 finally go down in the 1st...
that would destroy my bracket.
The Big East is now 1-3 so far - Greg Gumble
Though if today is any indication
All brackets are going to be pretty well destroyed after this weekend anyway.
17-2 run by KU...
looks like they came out cold but should cruise.
The Big East is now 1-3 so far - Greg Gumble
HUSKIESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My heart is still racing. This team continues to surprise me all year. I thought we would win this game but no way in hell did I think that our 3 point shooting would be so good today. MU did not lose this game, we took it.
I can finally get a good look at Avery Bradley too...
him and Siva have had off years, Siva more than AB. What’s the consensus on Bradley, does he go pro after this year.
The Big East is now 1-3 so far - Greg Gumble
I think he will.
Though I think he could benefit from more college.
Announcer
I heard him say of Washington “This is a very good team!!!” I’ll double that. Excitement WOW. Never give up.
Guard play.
Seemed like the Huskies were more surehanded with the ball down the stretch compared to Marquette. All of Marquette’s passes were barely getting there or getting swatted away while your backcourt wasn’t making a single stupid pass or needlessly risky pass.
New Mexico
I think we match up very well with New Mexico. Getting by Marquette means we have a great shot at the Sweet 16…then of course we most likely get West Virginia followed by Kentucky. Tall order getting to the Final Four but I think we can play with about anyone this year. With every win the confidence keeps growing.
Awesome game.
A tip of the cap to the Huskies today. Good luck against Pretty Boy Alford, and the rest of the way. I always root for the team that knocks of my team to win the whole thing, so don’t let me down.
