Washington earned their #1 seed this year with a 31-3 record. They finished the year 15-3 in the Pac-10. They won the regular season and the Pac-10 Tourney. Their only losses were at USC (lost by 4), hosting UCLA (lost by 3), and at Oregon (lost by 12.)
They led the Pac-10 in PPG at 85, rebounds per game at 34, assists per game at 18, steals per game at 10, and are 2nd in blocks per game at 5.4.
They have the best overall player in the conference in SG Jozsef Bouldin. He is also the best shooter in the conference. However, he broke his foot in the last game!! He is done for the tournament! He was rated 90 overall with 95 midrange shooting and 91 3 point shooting. He was averaging 24 ppg. He is also deemed the conference's best pro prospect. Some scouts think he will be the top pick in the upcoming draft.
Despite his injury, this is a loaded team still. They have a well deserved roster strength rating of a 95.
