After two seasons of NCAA tournament uncertainty, the University of Washington is once again pondering some sort of Selection Sunday get-together with fans.

The televisied broadcast of the selection of this season's NCAA basketball tournament field will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 15. The latest ESPN Bracketology has the Huskies as a No. 3 seed starting in Porland against Weber State in the West Region (Glendale, Ariz.)

One logistical problem is that the UW gymnastics team is scheduled to host a competition in Hec Ed that afternoon. However, there certainly are other public places where the university could hold the Selection Sunday celebration.

Details should be coming soon.

Melvin Davis, as 6-foot-2, 220-pound running back from Harbor City, Calif., and Nathaniel Narbonne High School has given an oral commitment to join the UW freshman class of 2010, accorting to RealDawg.com and Dawgman.com.

"I can confirm that Melvin has committed to the University of Washington," Narbonne coach Byron Moore Sr. told Dawgman on Monday. "He actually just did it while he was talking to the Washington coaches on the phone.

"I'm not sure if they are looking at him on defense, but I know they want to give him a look at runnning back as a big back. He's a guy who doesn't go down easy."

The first-place Washington Huskies have finally landed as player as Pac-10 Player of the week: senior forward Jon Brockman.

Here's part of the relase:

Brockman led the Huskies to wins over Arizona State (73-70 OT) and Arizona (83-78) to secure at least a share of the Pac-10 Championship for Washington for the first time since 1985. The Snohomish, Wash., native leads the nation in career double-doubles among active Division I players. He posted two more on the weekend, pushing his career total to 57.

Against No. 14 Arizona State, Brockman poured in 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, while shooting 66.7 percent from the field (8-12). He followed up with 19 points and 11 boards against the Wildcats. Brockman currently leads the Pac-10 in rebounding (11.3 rpg), is 10th in field goal percent (.527) and tied for 10th in scoring (15.0 ppg).

This is Brockman's fifth weekly honor of his career and the 33rd overall for Washington.

Meanwhile, UW coach Lorenzo Romar has been named among 10 finalists for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award. Details here from GoHuskies.com.

The Washington Huskies's weekend sweep of the Arizona schools moved them to No. 16 in the AP media poll and No. 13 in the coaches ESPN/USA Today poll -- both season highs.

Also for the first time this season, UW is the highest-ranked Pac-10 team in both polls, ahead of UCLA and Arizona State respectively.

ESPN's bracketology also moves UW up to a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Joe Lunardi's projection would have the Huskies opening in Portland against Weber State, with the winner advancing to meet the winner of the Gonzaga (!-- see post below--!)-Utah State game for the right to go on to the Sweet Sixteen in the Western (Glendale, Ariz.) Regional.
