The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) has recogized Washington seniors Jon Brockman and Justin Dentmon as members of its Division I All-District teams, recognizing the nation's best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes.
Brockman is a first-team selection, while Dentmon was named to the second-team for District 20, which is made up of Pac-10 players.
Other first=team members are Arizona State's James Harden, Arizona's Jordan Hill, California's Jerome Randle and UCLA's Darren Collison.
Other second-team members are Arizona's Chase Budinger, Arizona State's Jeff Pendergraph, California's Patrick Christopher and USC's Taj Gibson.
The complete release is available at GoHuskies.com.
The Washington Huskies could clinch the outright Pac-10 title tonight from the comfort of their couches.
The Huskies are Cougars are off tonight, but the other eight teams are in action across the league.
The one that will draw the most attention is Oregon State at UCLA, where an upset by the Beavers -- who have had their share of upsets this season -- would seal the deal for the Huskies.
Another game of interest is California at Arizona (7:30 p.m., FSN), where a win by the Wildcats would benefit the Huskies in terms of Pac-10 seeding -- if UW and UCLA wind up tied at the top. That game may also be crucial to Arizona's hopes of a 25th consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament.
UW also should have some passing interest in Stanford's game at Arizona State, again rooting for the Sun Devils to beat out the Golden Bears for third place.
Saturday's game against Washington State marks the final home game for seniors Jon Brockman, Justin Dentmon and Artem Wallace.
In keeping with his tradition, coach Lorenzo Romar says he will start all three -- although in this case that is simply a matter of putting Wallace in in place of Darnell Gant, because Brockman and Dentmon, of course, already are starters.
"It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’m a senior and this is my last game," Wallace said yesterday. "It’s going to be loud in here I’m guessing. It’s Wazzu, senior night. It’s going to be weird realizing this is my last home game and after this I’m never going to step on this court as a player in a game again. It hasn’t sunk in yet, but I’m sure it will sink in once it’s over."
The game will tip at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and will be carried on FSN.
