UW pulls out a big win; NCAA's looking more likely.
UW is finally playing more like a team and the FULL return of Spencer Hawes has been helping tremendously. No longer does UW seem to be fighting with each other for roles and responsibilities, rather, they are playing as a team. Not only has Hawes been playing well, but Brockman has also stepped his play and more importantly, his leadership. He is our rebounding GOD right now and is creating a number of match-up problems for the opposition. This in turn leads to more open looks for Hawes.
The remainder of the team is playing well as role players. Dentmon, Appleby, Oliver, Pondexter, and Nelson are all fairly interchangeable right now with Wallace and Gasser filling in when Hawes and Brockman need a rest. We also need to give more credit to Romar for turning this team around. If UW can finish 3-3 or 4-2, they could sneak into the NCAA tournament as a #9-#11 seed. Our record is about as ugly as a record could be.....15-1 at home vs. 1-7 road record....ugly! This does not bode well for our NCAA chances, however, a nice road win at Oregon would help.
Bottom line, keep the momentum strong and head into the Pac 10 tournament on a high note.
