Surprised on Selection Sunday

The Washington Huskies are a No. 1 Seed in the 2005 NCAA Tournament!!! This is unbelievable. After winning the Pac-10 tournament, I thought it locked us up for at minimum a No. 3 seed and possible No. 2. But when Kansas, Kentucky and Wake Forrest all lost, and a win over our conference foes in Arizona...I thought there was a 1 in 50 chance of being seeded so high. I thought it would have taken a loss by Duke today to slide into the No. 1 seed.

But when it's all said an done, I feel like our program was recognized for it's quality wins (Zona twice, Utah, Alabama and Oklahoma) and consistency through conference play. What a turn around for our program, which has been nonexistent through much of my lifetime.

Now with a bullseye on our backs, proving that we are a worthy of our seeding will be a great test for the Huskies. The door is now open for the Dawgs, no we just have to step through it. Going to the Final Four would be a dream. Then again, one dream came true today. Go Dawgs!!!
