We could bump up after this upcoming week as long as we beat WSU. But we need to finish in a tie with Oregon and Arizona. If oregon can lose to ASU but beat Arizona then we would be set in a 3 way tie with UW being the only team to beat UCLA

Last in free throw shooting? At this point, it's completely mental. Free throw shooting this year was probably the difference between making the NCAA tournament or not.

I think these guys just need to watch a video, shot from behind the free throw line, of a guy draining free throw after free throw just to get the idea in their heads about what it looks and sounds like to make one over and over again.

Glad to see that Breshers stepped up in a big game.

At least Holiday will probably only be at UCLA one year.

Breshers did not step up in the big game, the quote your referring to was what he needed to do. he did not. he scored 4 points and was frustrated all day. lost his composure and was not effective at all.

On a different note, Saturday’s game gave me the most optimism for the next few Husky seasons any game this season has yet.

One observation that surprised me but thrilled me was MBA’s passing. He only tallied two assists, but he made several other great passes that could have or should have been assists. Obviously great offense begins with great ball movement and with the court vision that MBA showed, QP has been showing and Overton shows, the more those three play together the more they’ll really open up the offense.

I also loved the way Huskies were taking it to the basket, particularly Overton.
Out of the past seven games, they played poorly it two (Oregon and ASU) – but in the other five games I don’t think there is any question they’ve shown more heart, more effort, better teamwork and overall improvement in the games of the freshmen and sophomores. Even if they don’t see any post-season games I’m excited at how they’ve played down the stretch and I think will be able to use it as a great springboard for a successful 2008-2009 season.

Breshers' does not hold a candle to future Coug Klay Thompson the highest rated player (ESPN 150) from either the Washington schools, and Gonzaga. Ranked #46 overall in the nation. The rich just get richer.

robertroll,

It is called sarcasm. It is disconcerting that Breshers played like crap in one of the biggest games of his career.

Also, I laughed at the blog entry that said he was dominant early. Did he sing the national anthem or something?
