Freshman guard Isaiah Thomas vs. Bost should be an awesome matchup. They have a sharpshooter on the wing - can't think of his name though.
I think it is a really even matchup for us. Overall I think we are a bigger team than they are and should be able to exploit some things with Kodi and Osby.
Don't know too much about how they match up athletically - but I think our guards can hang with theirs.
Still think they will be one of the Top 5 toughest teams we will have played this year.

Their PG is a beast.

I think Dee can shut him down. Should be a good match up. I don't believe that we are a 13th seed quality team, I think we are more in the 7-9 region. Washington better be on their toes. I remember somebody posting on here earlier today something about I feel sorry for the 4th or 5th seed team who gets matched up with us. Hopefully that will be the case!

They talk about us. The big white guy says he has followed us throughout the year. "They are on ESPN alot." Huh?
Washington
It seems that we have some similarities.
They can shoot it from outside and they play a lot of players (9 - 10 deep). It's going to come down to execution.

1. Pondexter at the 4 is a player that can bang down low and versatile enough to play outside. He reminds me a lot of T. Mitchell. I could see him giving us a lot of trouble.
2. Brockman is as big and physical as they come now days. They really hit the offensive boards, and that just so happens to be our defensive weakness. It will be interesting to see how this matchup unfolds. Jarvis has to avoid foul trouble. On the flip side, Brockman is a horrible free throw shooter.
3. As someone above mentioned, i can not wait to see the PG matchup. It might just be the 2 best FR point guards in the country.

Husky fan here in peace. Here's some facts to dispell some misinformation. First of all the Huskies were behind by 21 points in the first half (in the game above) and came back to take a lead, albeit short lived.
They are deep.
Brockman...pencil in a double double. You can't help but love the way he plays. Dude has a motor that knows one speed. He's not a threat from the outside, and until this year, even early this year, he's been a terribel FT Shooter. That has changed. The last 20 games or so he's knocking down a ton of them, as are the Dawgs. They get to the line a lot and a great rebounding team. Big strong players can give him trouble because he's only 6'7'", but none of them will outwork him and rarely outrebound him. Averages 15 points and 11 boards
Quincy Pondexter. (Nicknamed Qpon)Long and athletic. Great offensive rebounber and excellent defender. He's been really hot of late.
Darnell Gant. Long athletic, no threat from the outside, or inside for that matter, but a decent shot blocker
Isiah Thomas, small, lighting fast and strong. Not a great shooter, but a terrific passer, penetrator and scorer. Freshman of the year in the Pac 10 Big guards can give him trouble on the defensive side of the ball. Leading scorer on the team at 15.4
Justin Dentmon First team all Pac10. Great 3 point shooter and scorer, best FT shooter on the team. Decent defenive player as well.
Venoy Overton Small, quick and often plays out of control. Nicknamed "Annoy" for his tenacious on ball defense. You will not like him, I guarantee it. But he is a big spark for them off the bench.
Matthew Bryan Amaning. Tall, long, athletic. Excellent low post scorer who can be very effective, but is prone to disappear as well.
Justin Holliday Good shooter, very athletic and terrific defender. Good rebounder.
Elston Turner. Good shooter, 3 point threat.
Washington will want a fast pace. If they run on you, they will score lots.They average 78.9 per game. Because they are such tenacious offensive rebounders, and their guards are very agressive at penetrating, they get to the line a great deal more than their opponents most games.
Hope that helps.
And for the record, Husky fans are none too pleased with this draw. We were hoping for a cupcake, Oh well.
Good luck
