With none of the excitement of the NCAA Tournament, and probably half of the NIT Tournament, the Huskies will open play in the first round of the inaugural CBI Tournament tonight at Hec Ed. The opponent will be Valparaiso, best known for their incredible buzzer beater in the 1998 NCAA Tournament (the shot is at the 2:12 mark). Awesome to watch, but is there any way to, y'know, Hollywood it up a bit? Perfect! The......

Geraldine Ferraro, who claims that a black guy named Barack Obama has an advantage in running for president in America, something pretty similar to what she said about Jesse Jackson in 1988, was reluctantly shit-canned by the Clinton campaign. Presumably for not being negative enough. Luckily for us, Ferraro is a huge Husky basketball fan and agreed to share her thoughts on UDub's opening round loss 84-81 loss to Cal in the Pac Ten Tournament.......

As we wrote earlier, the Huskies play Cal-Berkeley tonight in the first round of the Pac Ten Tournament. They'll be doing it without an injured Jon Brockman, seen by many as the team's best player. However, is he any good? Dusty (Yes): Brockman owned Kevin Love at Hec-Ed, and if you say “but Artem Wallace guarded him” then maybe HE should be conference player of the year. AR-TEM! AR-TEM! AR-TEM.…MVP! MVP! MVP! I’m not......

Today Seattlest welcomes our new sports correspondent to the fold. Drew Milam is a longtime Seattle resident who recently returned to the Emerald City after some time in the Bay Area, and claims to be super tight with fellow Santa Clara alum Steve Nash, Brandi Chastain and NFL referee Mike Carey. No word on if he got the gig because he is a Hillary supporter (pleasing Editor Kim) and a Garfield alum (pleasing Seattlest David).......

Strong defense and Justin Dentmon stepping up late in the second half gave the Huskies their fourth straight win against the Bruins in Hec-Ed, and Seattlest its second great sports moment of 2008. Game stories from the Times, its blog, and Seattlest SportsNW Magazine Seth's sports blog. The Huskies next game is Thursday at Oregon, which means they have a few days to read this.......

Last time we checked in on Shawn Kemp, Jr., he was a 6-7 wingman considered a fairly decent prospect in Georgia. Now, Kemp is considered one of the top prospects in the nation, and, according to Glenn LaFollette of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a recruiting target of Lorenzo Romar. As you might expect, Kemp is a pretty good basketball player--a 6-9 dunk machine who Rivals rates as the #9 center in the class of '09. (Yes,......

This, honest to God, is what we would do if we won the lottery: We would purchase a Portuguese League basketball team and stock it with former Washington Huskies. We would spend our mornings sipping sangria by the seashore, our afternoons trying to say that ten times fast, and our evenings watching some of our favorite ballers ever. But until our lucky numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) come up, we're settling for......

For the second year in a row, a legendary coach has ended his career with a loss at Qwest Field. Last year, it was Bill Parcells who, though he's taken over as a GM in Miami, claims his final game as coach was last year's Cowboys playoff loss at Seattle. This year, it's Joe Gibbs, who resigned this morning, three days after his Redskins lost to the Hawks at Qwest. Other coaching legends who saw......

It's got Pirelli tires, modified exhaust, custom paint, and the driver's side once held the actual ass of an NBA player. Starting bid is $30,000 for Brandon Roy's custom-built Dodge Charger in Trailblazer colors. It's pictured above outside Bellevue's CarNutz Customz (where the "z" stands for "zavings"). Unless Jimi Hendrix had some tricked-out psychedelic van that sprayed acid in gas form, this has to be the dopest car ever owned by a Garfield High grad......

If those dirty hippies in the Bay Area wont help support our Super Bowl bound Seahawks then we will have to do the next best thing and demolish their college basketball teams. Well, in actuality the next best thing would be to go on the radio and praise the idea of an Al-Qaeda attack on San Francisco, but we're not shit-bat insane. Fresh off sweeps of the Oregon and SoCal schools the number nine Huskies......
