I like our draw...

We have a chance to make a run.

It will be like a Washington home game.
I was thinking along the lines of a 10-11 seed.
But nothing that can be done about it now.

if we do get past them, wow. The second round game looks easier than the first.

 

[Predestined]

in 95 played Santa Clara then utah in Boise. This team isn't afraid of the road.

It's the NCAA tourney. You're going to play good teams. This team isn't going to beat a #1 or #2 most likely, but we can get out of the first weekend in this bracket.

If I'm a Washington fan, I'm really pissed. We'll give those guys a great game.

..if the humidiy is low, then the ball will bounce off the iron more easily...if it's high humidity, then it may roll around and fall. The key is to play a little "string music" and "stuffarino" and it won't matter.

For any bulldog fans making the trip to Portland, it is an awesome town. There's a free trolly system in the downtown area, and there are tons of cool micro-breweries. You will not be bored.

Portland is probably the best city for beer in the world.

UW 7-7
MSU 10-7

UW was 17-1 at home, so they depended a lot on that home gym. We'll see. Better chance to get to second weekend this year than last. Course we have to beat the PAC 10 champs and the Big 10 tourney champs (likely) to do it.

We will get support from the other teams fans for just being the big underdog!! remember Duke 2005 in NC!! it was like 50-50 crowd support

But, they are the 4 seed. I'm okay with it - honestly just happy to be in. If we play to our potential, we could make a Sweet 16 run.

Also, don't underplay the fact that Oregon people hate U Dub. If there is a sizeable local crowd in attendance, they will be pulling for us. </p>

at the FedEx Forum? Were we practically at home losing to Butler in Bham?

Much different atmosphere not being in your home gym.

In fact, we need to be Butler this year. That team went to the Sweet 16 under very similar circumstances and I think we have much better players on this team.

I don't see Washington State fans coming to support us against their rival like UNC fans against Duke...
