UW, riding a seven-game winning streak, are the top dogs in the PAC-12 as of right now. They just passed Oregon (#52) in the KenPom rankings about two weeks ago. The Huskies really have no bad losses and were one defensive stop away from beating then #1 ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs at the McCarthey Athletic Center. Even though they are favorites to get the automatic bid for winning the PAC-12 Tournament, they have a chance at getting an at-large bid (pending how they play out the rest of the season).
