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......

It was a terrifying night for former Garfield and UW basketballer Tre Simmons, who's playing in Israel this year. Israeli basketball fans are notoriously crazy, but the fans--or at least one fan--got a little too crazy yesterday at a contest between Holon (Simmons' team) and Jerusalem. A Jerusalem fan (presumably) threw a firecracker at the Holon bench. An alert security guard who tried to pick the explosive up and toss it away got his hand......

A quick rundown on where our beloved Husky basketball types are now. Brandon Roy: Averaged 19.0 ppg for Portland's Vegas Summer League team. That's 8th in the league. Here's video, and a podcast interview with Roy and Jarrett Jack. Want to smile? Here's Roy swatting Jordan Farmar in last year's UCLA-UW game at Hec Ed. Marques Johnson's comment: "Woooooooooo! Get down, young fella!" Bobby Jones: The Philadelphia media is making much of Jones' similarity to......

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......

Brandon Roy is the Huskies' best all-around player, and Jamaal Williams is their best pure scorer. But the team's indispensable player, the one they must have to win big games, is Bobby Jones. Jones is the Huskies' pacer. His athleticism and energy make for an active defense and a fluid offense. Which is why we are a little blue after learning that Jones' ankle, injured Dec. 10 against New Mexico, is still bothering him. Coach......

Brandon Roy will return to the Husky men's basketball team for the 2005-2006 season, he announced at a news conference this afternoon. Roy, who in Seattlest's eyes was the most talented player on last year's top-ranked squad, considered going to the draft after graduating from Garfield High, and considered going after his sophomore season. No doubt he'd prefer to enter the draft this year, but a knee injury suffered early last season kept Roy from......

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: 1) Can Tre Simmons guard Francisco Garcia? Coach Lorenzo Romar usually puts Bobby Jones on the opposing team's top scorer,......
