How good can this Washington Basketball team become?

Huskies fans are long overdue for a game of this magnitude, with this outcome. After enduring a 9-22 season last year, the most optimistic outlook for the team was a .500 season. Now sitting a a 17-6 record, and 7-3 in the all-so-competitive Pac-12 conference, these Huskies have already ensured that they will finish with a winning record this season.

The fans for this team were generous with their appreciation. The Alaska Airlines Arena sold out for the third time this season, and the home town crowd let the competitors on the basketball court know they were there.
