From everything I've been reading, the Huskies' loss to UCLA today means they'll likely have to win 2 games in the Pac-12 Tournament to assure themselves an at-large bid.
I understand this reasoning because the Huskies' resume is god-awful, but I feel like if anyone on the selection committee watched today's game, they would notice that UCLA isn't really a sub-100 team, like its RPI suggests.
They would have seen that UW came out on fire and easily looked like an NCAA Tournament team, but UCLA played well, stayed with the Huskies and kept the game close.
The Huskies didn't look as great in the second half, but they still have the explosive offense and NBA prospects that makes them look like an NCAA Tournament team to me. I think one win in the Pac-12 Tourney gets them in, but it will be close.
Thoughts?
