Our Staples Center Bureau chief, Ryan, was not amused with the Huskies 75-65 loss to Arizona State on Friday night. more ›

With the retirement of Arizona men's basketball coach Lute Olson, Tacoma Bellarmine Prep star Abdul Gaddy was rumored to be pulling out of his commitment to the Wildcats. Now the Seattle Times is reporting that Gaddy will sign with the Washington Huskies next month. Gaddy is the number two point guard recruit in the nation. Earlier this year, Gaddy's mother, a local FedEx employee, received a phone call from the FedEx CEO urging her son to attend his alma mater, the University of Memphis. more ›

Last time we checked in on Shawn Kemp, Jr., he was a 6-7 wingman considered a fairly decent prospect in Georgia. more ›

When we lived in LA we had no problem watching the Huskies play at Pauley Pavilion. We could just get in our car, hop on the 10, and presto, eight hours later we were in the building. more ›

Franklin vs. Garfield is one of the Seattle sports events that you just shouldn't miss. Here's what we wrote about it for The Stranger in September:

True local hoops fans don't miss this game between two perennial inner-city basketball powerhouses, even at the cost of connubial tranquility. The 2005 game at Garfield fell on Valentine's Day, but happily married Husky basketball coach Lorenzo Romar was there anyway. A win in this game means neighborhood bragging rights for the rest of your life.

The Garfield girls responded with--we don't know what to call it--a flying crotch crunch? Four Bulldog cheerleaders jumped in the air, did the splits in the air, held the splits as they descended and SMACK landed on their hoo-has. The crowd went wild. more ›

Before the Huskies' 2nd round matchup vs. Illinois, we professed fear at how the Dawgs' freshman point guard, Justin Dentmon, would fare against All-Big 10 senior guard Dee Brown. Dentmon was incredible. He didn't turn the ball over once, and his late four-point-play was the catalyst for the Husky comeback. more ›

With a win today, the UW Husky men's basketball team will advance to the NCAA Tournament's round of eight for the first time in school history. Louisville, probably the best team the Huskies have seen this year, stands in their way. Here are the three things Seattlest will be keeping tabs on during the game: more ›
