Crusaders easily repeat as 6A boys champs

Portland Tribune — Jesuit’s 66-44 state championship victory Saturday night over Westview left no doubt that the Crusaders are the best Class 6A team in the state. Westview was the only Oregon team to beat the Crusaders (26-2) this season. From beginning to end of the 6A final at the Rose Garden, though, ...

Basketball: Are Bears shuffling off to Buffalo? We’ll know for sure in 3 hours

Huskies vs. Gonzaga in the first round? It could happen

Husky Men's Basketball Blog | Seattle Times — We're not finished with the bracketologists just yet. Washington settled the matter of whether it will get in the NCAA tournament, but now let's take a look at where they'll land in the bracket. Andy Glockner at SI.com has UW as a 10 seed in Jacksonville against No. 7 Texas in the Midwest Region. That would be an interesting matchup pitting former teammates Abdul Gaddy and Avery Bradley against each other. They played together at Tacoma's Bellermine Prep. ESPN bracket guru Joe Lunardi believes the Huskies will be a No. 11 seed in New Orleans, which would make my wife very happy. He thinks UW w...

Stanford post-game analysis

Husky Men's Basketball Blog | Seattle Times — A Washington assistant walked past press row after the Huskies' 79-64 win over Stanford and asked a simple question. "We're in, right?" "In," I said. "You sure?" "I'm sure. You're in," I replied. Still the Huskies aren't taking any chances. The school will only host a Selection Sunday viewing party that would be open to the public at the Don James Center if the Huskies beat California tomorrow at 3 p.m. to win the Pac-10 Conference Tournament title and secure the automatic tournament berth. If UW loses, then they'll gather privately around TVs on Sunday like everyone else and watch and see wh...

  • Do the Yellow Jackets have the legs to win the ACC title? Tech Blog | Atlanta Journal-Constitution GREENSBORO, NC – So that’s the question. Does Tech have the legs to beat Duke today, a team that’s played only two games in this tournament to Tech’s three. No team has won this title after playing four games in four days, since the league expanded to 12 teams in 2005. Coincidentally, that’s the last time Tech was in the final – 2005 – but the Yellow Jackets received a first round bye that year as a No. 5 seed. As the No. 7 seed, playing the No. 1 seed Duke, they’ve got a tough row to hoe. I asked Paul Hewitt about that last night, how Tech was doing physica...
