PAC-10 CLOSES THE BOOKS W/AN INSTANT CLASSIC

Thanks, "I.T"  Couldn't have dreamed this middle winner any better....

Had to come in w/this one...especially since The 2011 PAC-10 Tournament was a little maddening on this end...

Until today.Just had a helluva time accurately assessing MOTIVATION
(Among other things)
In Wednesday, Thursday & Friday's Games
Result: 0-3 Tourney -7 UNITS
(after a 7-0 closing Regular Season Week)

So, w/Finals Match-up looking as EVEN as it ended up,
We just couldn't be confident
UW would continue to perform well w/all the distractions
(see below)
vs the most efficient team in Conf,

So we went ahead w/our HEDGE PLAN: (Tweet-Posts)

1. 1½ UNIT | WASHINGTON +270 (Futures)
vs
2. 2 UNIT |  ARIZONA +3 
+5.87 UNIT Day

(-1.13 UNIT Tourney)

Clearly the point of Hedging was superceded...

I Thomas jab-step INSIDE the Arch made the almost 2-c Difference, too....
(Yet, likely made UW Backers SICK, so can't thump too heavy)
I couldn't have dreamed this one up....

IS THIS a 'MIDDLE'?  Just curious.

ASSESSING THE QUANDARY OTHERWISE KNOWN AS 'THE DIRTY DAWGS'

Washington's Win here, even w/o covering is especially impressive
Considering collateral damage & aftermath of latest on a growing UW Rap-Sheet of indiscretions

Even after their inspired WIN today
THE DIRTY DAWGS are STILL IN A BIT OF A MESS
Not only will UW continue to face all sorts of distractions
w/WASHINGTON Losing (at least temporarily)

5-11 193 SR VENOY OVERTON
Hurts Huskies on the court as much as off it
Venoy Overton's suspension for Buying booze for a 16-year-old teenage girl & her tag-along
Has Lasted thru the PAC-10 Tourney
& his status remains in question for NCAA Tourney

Overton's SR Leadership, versatility & perimeter defensive vigor is critical to Dawgs
Overton often successfully slid up to POINT,
From his standard starting [2] Spot

Till Mid-season
[1]
WASH 6-3 | 192 Soph Abdul Gaddy
was backing up ISSIAH THOMAS
Gaddy is Out-for-Season (KNEE)

Overton's Normal [2] Starter Spot 
Is filled by Normal Backup / Bench Man

WASH 6-6 | 199 Jr SCOTT SUGGS
Whom returned from Injury in Late Feb

Huskies began year w/abundant depth
Now Going forward w/iffy status of Overton & definitely w/o Gaddy
Huskies' depth is/would be depleted at the [1/2]

CLEARLY, Klay Thompson noticed Overton's absence
(43 Pts vs UW on Thu)

Whether Washington retains Overton or not, The Huskies NCAA Opponent is worth a long look, since whomever it is, they'll have a good deal more scouting time, and (presumably) more size than Cats as well

Gotta love Tourney time
