Sports Illustrated is featuring the Huskies on the cover of their College Basketball preview-- well one of the five regional covers. The west coast edition features John Brockman and…really, wow, Ryan Appleby. Huh. Justin Dentmon must have had class or something.

The magazine ranks the Dawgs number fourteen, in their pre-season Sweet Sixteen.

They will play six games against SI's top sixteen, including two against Arizona (January 4 and February 3), UCLA (December 31 and March 3), and single matches versus LSU (December 20) and at Pittsburgh (February 17).

Currently the young Huskies are 3-0 after sweeping through the Traveler's Classic. Their next game is on Sunday against the always uniformed Sacramento State Hornets.
