Game #207. It’s the game we all anticipated, part three. If it’s anything at all like the game in Tucson, it should be fantastic.
6 pm. Arizona vs. Washington. It’s Wildcats-Huskies Round 3, and if this game is half as good as the game in Tucson, Arizona, we’ll be in for a treat. Arizona and Washington both avenged earlier losses with their semifinal wins over USC and Oregon, respectively. Zona put the clamps on the Trojans’ post game and rode some key performances off its bench (Jordin Mayes and Jamelle Horne each had eight points) into the finals, while the Huskies were in control throughout their 18-point romp over the Ducks. The Wildcats and U-Dub have been the class of the Pac-10 for most of the season, so it’s fitting that they’re squaring off for the tournament title. The last time these two teams faced each other, we were treated to an 87-86 epic that was one of the more entertaining games of the year. With Gus Johnson on the call for CBS, I expect big things Saturday evening in LA.
