Dawgs Cruise Over Ridiculously Awful USC Squad
Initial (Over)Reactions
USC is bad. Really bad. The entire season I have been trying to process the fact that the Pac-12 sucks. I did not truly come to that conclusion until last night. The Trojans are easily the worst team in the big six conferences this season and that is no longer debatable.
As for the game itself, Washington played average, inconsistent basketball and won...

The many roles of Darnell Gant
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...

From 1975 to 2003 Washington had only one losing season, going 5-6 in 76′ in Don James’ second year.
Within that 28 year...

TEMPE, Ariz. It was a night for the freshmen, and they played like anything but.
When Arizona State needed a 3-pointer, Jonathan Gilling hit it.
When Washington needed a play, Tony Wroten made it.
Wroten, the early favorite for the Pac-12 Conference freshman of the year, had a monster slam and a sneaky little put-back down the stretch when the Huskies held off undermanned but...

Ross lighting up 2nd half lately for Washington
