Another way to look at how the committee evaluated Washington.  The following at large teams won their mid-major conference's regular season, lost in the conference tournament and still received a bid.  In other words, these teams were judged to be superior to Washington.

Wichita State (Missouri Valley)
Temple (Atlantic 10)
Iona (Metro Atlantic)
San Diego State (tied for Mountain West)

Sobering to know that Iona had a better profile than Washington.  But I cannot argue that the committee made a bad decision.
