Locations of Washington and Washington State

Bud Withers of The Seattle Times has questioned whether the in-state series can be legitimately called a "rivalry", since Washington and Washington State have never made the NCAA Tournament in the same season.[3] However, despite lacking sustained success on the court, both schools count the other as their principal rival. WSU's head coach, Kyle Smith, stated: “I don’t put [[other series]] in the same category -- no offense to Idaho. UW and Pac-12: that’s the real rivalry. Sorry Moscow, but that can’t be considered our rivalry. There’s nothing to gain on that one, let’s put it that way.”[4]
