- Usually I like to believe in the power of Husky softball, but between being swept against UCLA and Oregon, and their loss yesterday morning, my optimism wavers:
At best, Huskies will get a 7-seed (25-28 overall), which is what SA & D1S had them as coming into the week. They could get an 8 or even be unseeded
Forget trying to beat an elite host – we haven't seen evidence UW can beat an at-large caliber R1 opponent in over a month
