After spanking New Mexico 82-64 the Washington Huskies have advanced to next week's regional semifinal in Syracuse, N.Y., against the winner of second-seeded West Virginia's meeting with Missouri on Sunday. This is funny because alot people had counted the Huskies out of the tournament race just a few months ago. At this point, the Huskies had a record of 12—7 and had lost all five of their road games so there was no reason to believe that this team was going to make it to the tournament, let alone play as well as they have.

But after seeing Kansas fall to Northern Iowa, there is no reason to count the Huskies out against any opponent. With the Huskies playing up to their full potential, they can compete with any team in the nation.The Huskies are in the round of 16 for the third time since 2005. What are your thoughts? Do you think this team can make it to the Final Four or maybe even the NCAA title?

Either way, Go Huskies .
