With some conference tournaments less than a week away, this weekend is all about conference races, tournament resumes, and doing all that you can to end up on the correct side of the bubble. Here are ten questions I have heading into the weekend.

Kentucky and Tennessee Do Battle Again This Weekend (USA Today Images) Will Tennessee’s season-long struggles cleaning up its defensive glass be exploited again by Kentucky? (Kentucky @ Tennessee, Saturday 2 PM EST, CBS) In Tennessee’s 17-point loss at Rupp Arena last month, Kentucky’s 59.4 percent effective field goal percentage was the best of any Volunteers’ opponent this [...]]]>

Washington on the Come Up? http://rushthecourt.net/2017/12/08/washington-on-the-come-up/ http://rushthecourt.net/2017/12/08/washington-on-the-come-up/#respond Fri, 08 Dec 2017 20:01:48 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=130932

Washington, a team left for dead by the pundit class before the season even started, showed plenty of bark and bite earlier this week in snagging the Pac-12’s best non-conference win of the season versus #2 Kansas in Kansas City — functionally speaking, the Jayhawks’ alternate home court. The question now becomes whether such a monumental win gives any indication that the Huskies’ level of play is sustainable? Three things stand out about Washington’s win: First, Mike Hopkins‘ club won the three-point battle. Second, the Huskies kept Kansas off the free throw line by defending cleanly and effectively. Finally, they got [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2017/12/08/washington-on-the-come-up/feed/ 0 Washington Preview: Meet the New Pups http://rushthecourt.net/2015/11/03/washington-preview-meet-the-new-pups/ http://rushthecourt.net/2015/11/03/washington-preview-meet-the-new-pups/#respond Tue, 03 Nov 2015 19:05:56 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=109664

In the next three weeks leading up to season tipoff, the Pac-12 microsite will be evaluating each of the league’s 12 teams. Today, we head to Seattle.

Washington Huskies

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been a little too intimidated to start a preview on the Huskies until now. With eight newcomers and just three returnees on the roster, just about everything is going to be new in Seattle this season. Back in 2011-12, Washington won 14 league games en route to the Pac-12 regular season title yet still missed the NCAA Tournament. From there it has been all downhill: back-to-back 9-9 [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2015/11/03/washington-preview-meet-the-new-pups/feed/ 0
