- I refuse to buy into the notion that the Huskies are the 69th best team in the country if they win the NIT. Maybe it's just me being a fan, or maybe the Huskies are a better team than some of the automatic bids in the NCAA tournament. This NIT-run is exciting, and I'm at the point where I'll be upset if the Huskies come up short. A loss next week will be easier to swallow since it's the NIT and not the NCAA tournament, but I'll still be disappointed — and I'm sure the team will be disappointed even more. Who knew the Huskies would get a chance to play at the Madison Square Garden to avenge two losses at the MSG earlier this season? Game recaps: [GoHuskies.com], [The Husky Haul], [Seattle Times], [UW Dawg Pound]. And here's our NIT StoryStream to get you caught up.

@hawkblogger if Tebow goes to SF I think he could be more dangerous than A. Smith. It would also be awesome to play against tho
