Washington will play Georgia at 6:45 p.m. on Friday, March 18 in the NCAA basketball tournament.  Now, the NOVA School production of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory will premiere that night at 7:00.  You all will want to go see this awesome show.  NOVA theater rocks!  Therefore, if your family has a DVR, you need to record the Washington game so that you can watch it at your convenience.  It airs on CBS, channel 7.

Nate Silver has an excellent post up on FiveThirtyEight about how unlucky the Huskies were in their draw for the tournament.  They have to travel to Charlotte, North Carolina, to play Georgia in the first game, and the University of North Carolina, potentially, in the second game.  North Carolina is one of the most talented teams in the country, and they would be playing what is basically a home game.

It was a tough draw, but it will be incredibly exciting to watch the Huskies play Georgia, and then, hopefully, North Carolina.  UW vs. UNC would be a marquee game and bring tremendous exposure to the program.  Let's hope it happens.  Go Huskies!
