"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Huskies vs. Arizona

Today we went to the UW basketball game against Arizona. The #14 ranked Huskies played another great game beating the #9 Wildcats 93-85 to secure their 22nd straight home victory.

Some random highlights/observations:

  • Nate Robinson is still my hero, if there's a more exciting player in college basketball I sure haven't seen him. Today he went off for 22 points including several key baskets at the end of the game. My favorite was a clutch driving lay-up by the 5'9" Nate over 6'10" Channing Frye with just over a minute remaining in the game.
  • Tre Simmons is really good. Last time we saw him play he scored a career-high 29 points. This time he added 24 more. He had the first 9 Huskies points going 3 for 3 from 3 point land at the start of the game.
  • This was the last home game of the season, and thus the last home game for seniors Tre Simmons, Will Conroy, Hakeem Rollins, and Alex Johnson. If Nate leaves for the NBA, it could be his last home game as well.
  • Arizona's Channing Frye is a beast. He dominated the Huskies scoring 30 points on what felt like 15 dunks, (it was actually only 5). It's no wonder that's he projected to be a first round pick in this year's NBA draft.
  • The Huskies student section was entertaining as always. Tonight they held up signs of what they claimed to be Channing Frye's cell phone number (Paris Hilton would've been proud). Every time he went to the free throw line they would recite the number. Frye denied it was really his number though saying:

"That was so funny. Too bad it's not my real phone number. I want to say congratulations to them for getting close to my number. The area code was right."


Nate the Great!
