Can the Huskies improve their seeding with a strong showing at the Pac-12 Tournament?
Breathe easy, Husky fans.
Washington is virtually guaranteed a spot in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament for the first time since 2011.
But then, can any team truly be safe when its best win is a five-point victory at Oregon and their best performance is a two-point loss at Gonzaga?
Apparently so.
The Huskies (24-7), which easily won the Pac-12 regular-season title at 15-3, are considered an 8-10 seed in the latest NCAA tournament projections.
At this point, it’s nearly impossible to imagine doomsday scenario in which UW falls out of the 68-team tournament regardless of what happens this week at the Pac-12 Tournament.
