We’re pretty sure it’s never too early to start thinking about March

If you’re with us, then you’ll be interested in noting a couple of early projections of the NCAA Tournament field. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has the Cougs in as a No. 2 seed, heading out to Denver … for a rematch against Oral Roberts! David Mihm at Bracketography.com has the Cougs as a No. 3 seed.

It’s laughably early to put any kind of serious stock in this stuff, but it’s fun nonetheless.

And … we’re back! (And the Cougs are No. 6!)

I hope everyone had an awesome turkey weekend. If you’re at this site, chances are you’re a Coug fan. And if you’re a Coug fan … well, it was an awesome weekend, between the Apple Cup and the hoops team’s 3-0 run through the Cougar Hispanic College Basketball Challenge. (That’s me on the right, with my brother, Eric, and my dad. Looks like a proud papa, doesn’t he?)

Apple Cup

That great weekend — combined with some losses by higher ranked teams — resulted in the Cougs vaulting to No. 6 in both the AP and the coaches polls. It’s the highest ranking ever for the team. We’ll have a new edition of the BlogPoll to unveil tomorrow, so that news will have to tide you over until then.

We’ll have some analysis of the weekend that was at the round-robin event in Spokane, but if you’re looking for some first-hand thoughts, check out this comment from loyal reader Longball.

In other news, it appears we probably will never know what really happened to Tony Harris. Sad.
