Upon pitching this column, an editor inquired as to what, exactly, I was inhaling recreationally. Even with the four-game winning streak, the program’s biggest victory in seven years and a Dance-worthy resume, this idea still sounds loony to some.
But should it? Is the concept that far-fetched? If I were to tell you that the Washington men’s basketball team has a legitimate shot at the Pac-12 title, would you call for my lobotomy?
Well, you shouldn’t. If you’re a Huskies hoops fan, it’s OK to get greedy. UW winning the conference isn’t probable at this point, but it is a realistic possibility.
