Washington Husky Huddle for Wednesday December 28th 2011 (Part Two)
More Former Dawgs in the Spotlight Last year UW had the heart to pull out a great ending to a tough and disappointing season, with that “cold-blooded” buzzer beater (which won the Pac-10 tournament) by now NBA rookie guard Isaiah Thomas. That moment wasn’t named on Tuesday by Yahoo as one of “college basketball’s 10 […]13 years ago

Washington Husky Huddle for Wednesday December 21st 2011 (Part Two)
To their credit UW did a pretty nice job on Duke’s blue bloods Austin Rivers and Seth Curry, but not good enough. Unlike most Husky teams of the Romar era, this year’s squad has very little to hang their hat on when it come to shutting down an opposing guard. That was a hallmark of […]13 years ago

In the aftermath of a split at home against two mid-major teams (and that's being generous in South Dakota State's case), the Dawgs are at a crossroads.

After that disappointing, but impressive looking loss to the Golden Eagles, the Dawgs played rather poorly against Duke in the first half and for over 13-minutes of the 2nd half on Saturday. Down 19 with 6:56 to play, UW went on a 18-6 run, led by Wroten with 10 in that stretch. It was then […]13 years ago

Eight games have come and gone for the 2011-12 Husky Men's Hoops team and the results have not been good on paper . Four up and four down is not the kind of record that you may expect from a Lorenzo Romar coached team, or is it? Romar went in to the Nevada game with 199 career wins and three games later he still sits short of the 200 mark.

Washington Husky Huddle for December 2nd 2011
On November 22nd in one of Jason King’s first blog post for ESPN, since moving over from Yahoo/Rivals, he referred to UW and Arizona being “less-than-impressive” this season in the early going. I’m not sure that I would say that, as this type of play on a team having to replace a junior team leader […]13 years ago
Washington Husky Huddle for Monday November 21st 2011
The Washington Huskies were embarrassed on their first road trip of the year in Saint Louis Sunday, 77-64 . Coach Lorenzo Romar will have a lot of thinking to do on the plane ride home regarding why his team came out flat.

Washington Husky Huddle for November 15th 2011 (Part Two)
With Ross, Wroten, Gaddy and Wilcox all attacking the cup, as well as doing the things that they already do well around the perimeter, UW is going to be a much tougher out for anyone. As Romar likes to say, Husky opponents will have to “pick their poison” this season. On Wednesday gohuskies.com’s Gregg Bell […]13 years ago

Washington Husky Huddle for November 6th 2011
The Dawgs beat SPU on Friday 77-60 in a game that UW seemed to control from the beginning. It wasn’t a glamorous win, against an albeit decent D2 opponent, but it was impressive in a number of ways. Without junior center Aziz N’Diaye and senior guard Scott Suggs, there was still a whole lot there. […]13 years ago
Huskies experiment, but still toy with SPU 77-60
The Washington Huskies started off the 2011-2012 season with a whole new look . With the departure of four key players from last year's team, questions were answered on how the Huskies would continue their success in the Pac-12.

Washington Husky Huddle for October 22nd 2011
Washington lost a recruiting battle with WSU on Friday for 2012 guard Demarquise Johnson, as we broke here yesterday, but all is not lost for the Dawgs. The Huskies will host a couple of 2012 big men in the coming weeks leading up to the Fall Signing period in November. Various reports have confirmed that […]13 years ago
2012 guard Demarquise “Que” Johnson is going to WSU per sources
According to sources close to the situation, Johnson will be a Cougar. “Que” is being looked at by the Cougs, according to a source, as the future focal point of the WSU attack, much like Golden State Warrior 1st round pick Klay Thompson was this past season. This is a major break through for WSU […]13 years ago

Wroten is in a similar spot. He could be everything that people envision of him right off the bat and waltz cleanly into the NBA next June, or he could need seasoning and have the sense to not push it for the good of his overall career. In Tony’s case I think it is a […]13 years ago

Cougs pick up post help for 2011-12
I just talked to Edd and Julie Webb who informed me that their son David Wink has committed to play hoops for Ken Bone at WSU. Wink is a walk-on, but since his school is already being paid by ROTC, this is a big positive for Wink, his family and the Cougar program. David is […]13 years ago

Another week has come and gone and it’s high time to do another blog post covering college hoops here for mynorthwest.com. Unfortunately for me, as I am the one who loves this column more than anyone I’m sure, I will not be able to post another Washington Husky Huddle this week. I have a family […]13 years ago

Washington Husky Huddle for September 24th 2011
After watching the Washington team in it's entirety, along with former Dawg Spencer Hawes and a couple of confirmed and aspiring walk-ons, on Friday I came away with a pretty good idea as to the raw make-up of the 2011-12 team.

Pac-12 Roundup for September 13th 2011 (Part Three)
Strange that Altman used the word “working” rather than coaching. I also find it no unrelated coincidence that Brown referred to his school when he committed on ESPNU as Oregon University. I believe that there is a professional atmosphere in Eugene that is more than just a healthy academic approach to preparing for the job […]13 years ago
