    Washington Huskies in the NCAA Tournament: Vegas Likes 'em, History Doesn't

    Vegas thinks Coach Romar might dance into the second round.​Despite the protests of some biased observers, the Pac-10 only has two teams in this year's NCAA tournament. Logically, this makes sense. The Pac-10 was terrible this year. A fact best exemplified by the Washington Huskies 11 seed, an ... More >>
