Win, and the "special season" talk will become legitimate, as UW will enter uncharted territory.

I am just hoping that it doesn't go to the players heads. You see teams start playing not to lose as the pressure becomes too much. I hope we keep on rolling! SMU is going to be a really tough game

I don't think this team will let anything get to their heads, they looked rusty and flat(except Luke) but we're fine learning all the time and playing every style of ball there is out there b4 conference. If I didn't have this committment on Friday, I'd sure be wanting to be in Laramie friday night to send them off to break the right way!!!! Hopefully Laramie starts to believe as well!!!

Luke was on fire! Did he miss any 3s? And Nance was clutch at the Free Throw line as well.

I am buying the shyatt coaching style. I think he is expereinced enough and disciplined enough to keep these guys down to earth. I hope, anyway.

Exciting times to be a Poke bball fan.

How did DU get so many points in the paint? Is this a weakness that DU discovered and that SMU is going to try to exploit?

although Leonard had a few good blocks, he really wasn't himself last night....Larry had most of his points at the line, but they need to take the ball up instead of dribbling in the paint all the time...that's my observation

This is something last year that would have cost us a win, The Boss couldn't have a bad shooting night and allow us to still win just like last year if Luke had an off shooting night we lost games. However I think this year we will be much better off even when someone has an off night.

What uncharted territory is this you speak of?

Can't find anything on the schedule or results for the season in 1950 so I don't know can't confirm or deny.

UCSB ties it if we beat them. SMU would give it to them solo.
