Huskies Find It Difficult to Get 9-Inch-Wide Basketball Into 18-Inch-Wide Hoop

'Member when we made a funny ha-ha joke about thieves breaking into staged homes for sale? Well--irony of ironies--a thief did same to a friend's house last night, so we had to Tivo Saturday morning's Husky game while we spent the day repairing a broken door frame.

After watching the Huskies lose by 30, we're wishing they'd broken the whole fucking house.

Why do the Huskies suck? There's as many theories flying around Seattlest HQ as frisbees at People's Park:

• The Huskies shoot too many threes.
• They make too many stupid passes.
• Their guards can't guard.
• Their shooters can't shoot.
• They are playing too tight.
• They don't grab the ball when they rebound.

The point is, the Huskies can't score. In their last three halves of basketball, they've managed only 22, 26, and 28 points. Not gonna get it done. Even if they win out in the Pac-10 regular season, the Dawgs will be a bubble team, and the tournament committee will not smile upon thirty point losses against Arizona, Washington State.

They'll try to find their shooting touch, or something, when the Bay Area schools come to town next weekend.
