Dubs lost in disappointing fashion last night, so the cosmic basketball odds lead me to believe we upset the Cougs. We then ride high on this energy into Pullman and control the early game only to let UW come back late. However, no strangers to close games, we show resilience this time and stave off the comeback by playing disciplined ball down the stretch to close out the game. 2-0 on the trip to the Evergreen State.
If you had told me at the end of last season that we would be even considering the possibility of having a winning conference record, I’d have told you you were insane. The fact that we are having this discussion shows how far we have come. I’m really optimistic about the future.
I am optimistic about both games. WSU is a good matchup for Cal, and we've already beaten them once.
UW doesn't not scare us. Newell had 21 points in Seattle last year (a career high).
My benchmark coming into this year was 14 wins. To get there, I want the next three wins (WSU, UW, OSU). Then get one of the last 4 from UO,@Utah, @Colorado, @Stanford. That puts us at 10-10 in conference, probably 6 or 7 seed at conference tourney time.
When Cal was a normal Pac-12 team, the watchword was split on the road and win 2 at home and you're well on your way to the NCAA. The non-conference losses have likely have us out, but think we should be able to pull a road split? We haven't been great in true road games this season, but UW seems like the right time to get on the right side of that.

Beat asu by 20 on the road
One singular game does not erase the rest of the season, but you already knew that.
And a great win at Pauley but it’s still been middling on the road
