Dawgs claim Pac-12 mens basketball championship

Did you know California's loss to Stanford on Sunday delivered the outright conference championship to the Huskies.

A ton of help was needed, but they still grabbed the outright Pac-12 regular-season championship.

Washington finished (21-9, 14-4 in Pac-12 play)

Washington enters the Pac-12 tournament in LA as the two-time defending champion and No. 1 seed.

The Huskies will face either No. 8 Washington State (15-15, 7-11) or No. 9 Oregon State (17-13, 7-11) in a quarterfinal at noon Thursday.

Most people out there believe ONLY the Pac-12 tourney champ will be in the Big Dance.
