WASHINGTON HUSKIES RUMORS & GOSSIP

Hop back on the rollercoaster The 2011-2012 Washington Huskies men’s hoops season is in the books. The season was a wild one, with many ups and downs. Going into the season there were many questions surrounding this team. How would they fare without a true leader like Nate Robinson or Isaiah Thomas? What kind of impact will phenom Tony Wroten have on this Huskies team? How...

Today, the NBA Draft Blog Scouting Report looks at another underclassman who is thrown their name into the NBA Draft, with the intention of staying in – Washington’s sophomore scorer, Terrence Ross. Ross has great scoring ability and is a fantastic perimeter shooter, but is his game ready for the NBA? Let’s take a look at Terrence Ross: Terrence Ross, Washington â€...

Washington coach Lorenzo Romar says the Huskies' high-intensity pressure defense, which showed up only in spurts this past season, will be an emphasis for the future. Romar held his end-of-season news conference on Wednesday, after a hectic eight days during which the Huskies were ousted in the semifinals of the NIT and then saw their top two scorers in Terrence Ross and Tony...

Washington guard Terrence Ross has decided to enter the NBA draft. Ross averaged a team-high 16.4 points this season as Washington won the Pac-12 regular-season title and made it to the NIT semifinals. The 6-foot-6 Ross was the only player on the team to reach 30 points, accomplishing the feat twice, and had nine games of 20-plus points. Ross averaged 25 points in four games in...

Star sophmore Terrence Ross has hired an agent and has declared for the NBA Draft. Speculation has been swirling as to whether or not Ross and Tony Wroten would go pro. Ross is gone. The 6-6 guard shot 51.8 percent from the field during the season. He ranked among Pac-12 leaders in eight categories: points (16.4, 4th), rebounds (6.4, 6th), offensive rebounds (5.1, 3rd), free throw...

Just keep it up The Washington Huskies have finally gotten over the fact that they’re in the NIT and not the NCAA tournament. While they’re disappointed in not being invited to the big dance, they still have something to prove. So with a chip on their shoulder, the Huskies have been rolling through the NIT and have steamrolled their way to the Final Four. They already...

Mission accomplished. The Golden Gophers' post-season has already been a resounding success, and the opportunity to play two more games against solid competition in the arena that claims to be the most famous (the Roman Colosseum humbly disagrees) could lead to a mass outbreak of irrational exuberance. Over the last few weeks, we learned that this team could win basketball games...

The Washington Huskies stubbed their toe at the end of the season, and in doing so have become infamous. The Huskies (21-10, 14-4) became the first 'power conference' team to win their regular season outright, yet not win a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The missed bid means senior forward Darnell Gant misses out on being the first Washington player to ever play in four straight Big Dances.

The Washington Huskies basketball program is on the rise. After a very slow five and five start they have won nine of their last 11 games and are sitting atop the Pac 12. After a fairly slow year from the Seattle Seahawks and with the Seattle Mariners still a few months away, Seattle fans who support UW are hoping that not only will the Huskies get into the big dance, but that they...

Darnell Gant's role on the Washington Huskies basketball team is to come off of the bench and be active. Sometimes. He's almost like a seventh starter for head coach Lorenzo Romar. If Gant was called on to fill a starter's role, he could, already having made 70 career starts, including 14 this season. Off of the court, he has the capacity to take on other roles...

Washington freshman Tony Wroten came into college as one of the top recruits in the nation, and for good reason. The 6’5″ guard from Seattle was a member of the 2011 USA Basketball Junior National Select Team and came to Washignton ready to contribute from the jump for the Huskies, averaging ove 17 ppg so far [...]
