UW Stumbles Over A Few Gophers, Fails To Prove NCAA Tourney Doubters Wrong
The Huskies desperately wanted to show the world they belonged in the NCAA Tournament.
But they will not get a chance to win the NIT championship.
Despite a thrilling comeback in the final minutes to force overtime, Washington fell to Minnesota 68-67 in their NIT semifinal match Tuesday night at NYC’s Madison Square Garden.

Huskies Make History (The Wrong Way) During Selection Sunday
Lorenzo Romar knew what the outcome was probably going to be to the point of being bluntly realistic with those around him following Washington’s stunning loss to Oregon State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Conference tournament.
Romar’s growing fear became truth on Sunday when Washington, the regular-season champions of the Pac-12, was left out of the 68-team field for the NCAA tournament, making the Huskies a rare footnote and trivia fact in the annals of tournament selections.

On the 15th of March fans of NCAA College Basketball will be celebrating the famous ‘Ides’ in their own way. Yes, after the opening round of the First Four (the first four play-in games to enter the tournament’s overall field of 64 teams) the NCAA Tournament will officially begin. March Madness is the colloquial term for the time over the duration of the NCAA Tournament; where buzzer-beating shots regularly encroach on narrowly-lead teams and lesser known teams ordinarily poach off more commonly branded basketball. It is a time of passion, persistence and revelry in the arts of war; not unlike the ancient Roman’s celebrations of the God of war. Today, I’ll be starting off tournament coverage of possible tournament teams conference by conference, each of the major conferences, and a bundle of the mid-majors. Read More >>
