SEATTLE (AP) — Despite winning the Pac-12 Conference regular-season title, Washington has been left out of the NCAA tournament.
It was disappointment for the Huskies on Sunday afternoon when the NCAA tournament brackets were revealed. It is the first time since the 1950s that a team which claimed at least a share of the Pac-12, Pac-10, Pac-8 or Pacific Coast Conference regular-season title failed to be selected for the NCAA tournament.
Washington (21-10) finished the regular season with a disappointing loss at UCLA, but won the conference title outright when California lost to Stanford. The Huskies then flopped in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament losing to Oregon State 86-84.
Being left out snaps a string of three straight NCAA tourney appearances by the Huskies.
