SEATTLE -- Of all the stats, numbers and facts that got thrown around in the wake of Washington's surprisingly tense victory over Eastern Washington last week, here's one that was largely missed -- UW has the sixth-longest winning streak in the nation.
The win over Eastern was UW's fifth in a row dating to last season. Only Auburn (16), Stanford (9), Nevada and Ohio State (7) and Oklahoma (6) have longer current winning streaks as the Huskies prepare for a game at 12:30 p.m. Saturday against Hawaii.
You'd never have known it, however, from listening to UW players and coaches this week.
