Everything was coming up roses for the Washington Basketbal team. They had a strong start to the season, capped by successives wins over nationally-ranked Arizona State and then Arizona. In fact, their success gave fans hope for an NCAA Tournament invitation, and even a national Top-25 seed.
The Huskies suffered two tough losses in Oregon this weekend, and was a small shot to the team’s tournament hopes. As of right now, Joe Lunardi still has them in the tournament as an 11 seed, but it’s going to be a grind after the sweep in Oregon.
