The Washington men's basketball team won its fifth straight game tonight, capturing an ugly but dominant 69-41 victory over USC at Edmundson Pavilion.

The Huskies have now won 11 of their last 13 games. Their record is now 16-7, including a 9-2 mark in the Pac-12 conference. This is as good as the Huskies have been all season, which, I know, isn't saying a lot considering this team stumbled to a 5-5 start.

They're making progress, but how much? I think the improvement is substantial, even though the Pac-12 is full of mediocre-to-lousy teams this season.

But let me direct a question to you. I want to know what you're feeling about the turnaround this team has made since mid December. Do you believe in these Huskies? Do you need to see more? Is this surge a sign that the Huskies will be formidable in March, or is it merely the good fortune of being in a bad conference this year?
