I think credit is due here.
These two wins do keep the hope/possibility of an NCAA post season at higher than "a snowball chance in hell". They may not be a reason to get excited, but they do get the team closer to 20.
I fully expected the team to revert to norm and drop one of these two games after the uplifting win at Oregon.
Watching this team over the last few years has been terribly frustrating. They show flashes of brilliance (see NIT two years ago) and the talent seem to be there, but it just doesn't seem to be able to put it all together. The only consistent thing about this team has been it's incosistency.
So allow me to take some joy in three wins in a row, including a sweep of the middling Washington schools at home, as I have known not to take anything for granted when it comes to this team.
I'll try not to get excited and anticipate yet another crash and burn performance this week in LA, but this mini streak has exposed me yet again to more dissapointment and frustration. sucker!
