Romar had Mike Jensen literally mugging Augustine all through the second half. Illinois didn't enter the ball to him and I'm not sure Jensen ever got called for a foul. At least, that's the way I remember it in my nightmares...
I hope that was a compliment/appreciation for the GIF find. I won't lie - I've been waiting for this game to bring that one out. All in good fun, of course.
I still remember our 2nd half foul trouble giving them a bunch of FT’s to come back and win. Brandon Roy gave us, and Dee Brown, fits.This game means more to me than it should, but I've had a grudge against Washington since they bounced us in the second round of the tourney back in '06.
It was the beginning of our decade-long basketball despair.
Euthanize the Huskies.
If that happens we should be closer to a 2. We'll see if the AP starts to love us or not.
Lunardi's biggest issue is that he starts doing Bracketology in August before anyone actually knows how good anyone is, and then can't get off those initial impressions for far too long.
Means a lot to those of us in Huskie country tooThis game means more to me than it should, but I've had a grudge against Washington since they bounced us in the second round of the tourney back in '06.

The only thing I like about lunardi is that he at least publishes why he moved a team up/down on twitter during the bracketology season. But if you want true brscketology odds, go to bracketmatrix.com once it gets going aggregating the 80-100 different publications. That usually isn’t more than 1 seed line off.

I still think UW finishes near bottom of conference. Just hard to win on the road in conference — even against the new teams. Throw in the travel and even harder. Wouldn’t surprise me at all that if we beat Wash, Illini are only team to get a sweep on NW trip. Likewise, if Maryland loses to Oregon, wouldn’t be surprised if not the only team to get swept on that swing.
Pretty certain that is what UW will try. But I think they’ll do that with most teams.
Mike Fratello showed it works even with bad NBA teams and a 24 second shot clock. Should not be a surprise that grabbing, slow play and daring officials to call fouls is about the only recipe some teams have to compete. With the longer shot clock and shorter game time one and ones and a “you can’t foul everyone out” mentality the make em win it at the foul line option is an annoying but legal way to play.
I get what you’re saying, and I don’t like foul fests either, but I don’t want to see any changes to college game that make it more NBA-like. If I want to watch NBA basketball, I watch the NBA. And I don’t watch much NBA.
I agree with the sentiment. But would still love to keep this from happening. Have thought about this a lot and that was the best I’ve come up with. Any suggestions?
We can throw a 30-0 run against them in retribution.
UW is slow playing and a sloppy team too. Exploit it.
Treat it a bit like the unimpeded to the basket foul. Like it
So, you're worried that winning a top 10 away game by an all-time record amount will teach other teams how to beat us? I'm confused. LOL
They'll find an excuse to not love us. Record setting road win? Not very impressive...5 seed at most
No, worried I have to watch low possession count grab fests to 60 pts like the TN and NW games, where the officials give up calling all the fouls. The games being then determined by whichever team muscles up a lead of more than one possession late, resulting in the final few minutes of the game being a free throw contest.
