Add in a 17-9 record with only two wins over RPI top 67 teams and Washington becomes a proverbial bubble team depending on how they finish their season against UCLA and USC.
Yeah, the Huskies' only real tough out of conference opponents were UK and Michigan State out in Maui, and they lost both. After the way the Spartans have concluded the season, losing seven of 11, that doesn't help things. And UK isn't playing too hot either. I think Washington is 19-9 now, but the Huskies have lost five of nine. With the Pac-10 certainly not going to get four teams into the tournament, and Washington now sitting at third in the conference with USC playing well and closing in, it could definitely be bubble time for Lorenzo.
I like Lorenzo. I still can't believe Washington let UConn slip by them in the 2006 Sweet 16. That was the West Coast Huskies' game. Dominated UConn for 30 minutes then UConn comes all the way back and throws in a game-tying three at the buzzer, then wins in the extra session. With only George Mason left standing in their way, that Brandon Roy-led team would have went to the Final Four and challenged all comers.
