Maybe it was a sign of things to come. A road closure from a nasty car wreck on the interstate caused the Huskies to be almost 45 minutes late to pregame warm-ups at Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday for their Pacific-12 Conference matchup with Oregon.
For the second time in Lorenzo Romar’s tenure as coach of the Washington Huskies, his basketball team has a 9-2 record in conference play.
They have been courted, hired and announced via press release. They have recruited and helped sign their first class as a coaching staff. They have crossed paths a few times on the road and on campus, and finally sat down for their first full staff meeting a week ago.
For three games, Shawn Kemp Jr. sat on the bench and mostly watched. He sat the entire game against Stanford, played four minutes at Arizona State and then sat the entire game at Arizona.
In terms of overall aesthetics, the Washington Huskies’ 69-41 win over the USC Trojans ranks somewhere near roadside graffiti and finger painting.
At the Pacific-12 Conference media day way back in October, USC coach Kevin O’Neill looked at sophomore point guard Maurice Jones, who was seated next to him. He’d spent the previous 10 minutes discussing how much Jones meant to his team and how the Trojans couldn’t afford to be without him.
Terrence Ross can’t really explain why he owns the second half of basketball games. So, he’ll simply revel in the fact that it’s working, and just keep doing what he’s doing.
The UCLA Bruins came into the 2011-12 basketball season with high expectations – some their own, some placed on them by others.
On one of the biggest days in the college football calendar, when the hours and hours of phone calls, visits and text messages come to an end, University of Washington coach Steve Sarkisian admitted he could have used a nap.
C.J. Wilcox is living the recreational hoop player’s life – no practices, just games.
Did Shaq save the Washington Huskies’ recruiting class? No, we aren’t talking about the future Hall of Fame NBA center and subpar actor/ rapper. No, this would be Shaquille “Shaq” Thompson, who with his announced commitment to Washington late Monday night.
Shaq Thompson, a highly regarded safety from Grant High in Sacramento, tweeted late Monday night that he will sign with the University of Washington.
TUCSON, Ariz. – This is what Tony Wroten dreamed of when he thought about playing college basketball – a sold out arena, electric atmosphere and ESPN Gameday there to hype it up.
TUCSON, Ariz. – It had to come down to the game’s final moment – that’s what these two teams do when they square off.
