Huskies react to season ending loss to Wisconsin

Washington’s season has come to an end after an 85-82 loss to Wisconsin in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskies (16-17, 7-13 Big Ten) didn’t have the season most anticipated. There’s been plenty of focus on the negatives this season, so let’s focus on the positive ones. Despite what has been a […]

Sprinkle, Huskies notch first Big Ten Tournament victory

Washington is still alive after notching an 83-79 overtime victory over USC in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament. The victory is the first of its sort for the men’s basketball program. A milestone for second-year head coach Danny Sprinkle.  “It couldn’t come in a better fashion for this group,” Sprinkle said to […]

#Woof: Huskies Land 3 Star California Linebacker

3 star linebacker Isaiah Leilua from Servite HS, CA committed to UW while on an unofficial visit this weekend. Leilua, who is rated as the 45th best linebacker in the country by 247sports, chose UW over offers from ASU, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, and UW.

Husky Softball Weekly Roundup: Winning Streak Reaches Nine

Two weeks ago, the Husky Softball season appeared to be at an inflection point. The Dawgs had played below their standards at the Mary Nutter Classic, giving up 15 runs to #4 Oklahoma in five innings dropping their finale to Loyala Marymount. The pitching looked unstable and the defense did not look sharp enough. The […]

Disappointing Loss to Oregon Sums Up UW’s Regular Season

The next time the Washington Huskies take the floor, it’ll be in the Big Ten Tournament. Before the season, that sentence was supposed to carry excitement. Washington was dubbed the sleeper team in the offseason by the national media thanks to a surplus of experienced transfers. An at-large team, perhaps. A bubble squad that could […]

Huskies Dispatch Fading Trojans

The Washington Huskies have made a habit this year of coming up short against good opponents due to limited offensive options. Zoom Diallo and Hannes Steinbach have been excellent, but haven’t received enough support from the rest of the roster. On Wednesday night, Diallo and Steinbach were so good that they didn’t need much support. […]

Q&A With 3 Star Husky Offensive Line Target

Happy Wednesday Husky fans. The Huskies have a massive wave of visitors on campus this weekend for unofficial visits. One of the top targets on the offensive line isn’t able to make it this weekend, but I was able to catch up with him this week about his recruitment and interest and UW. 3 star […]

USC Trojans @ Washington Huskies – Preview and Game Thread

The Huskies will wrap up their home schedule on Wednesday evening with the USC Trojans coming to town. As disappointing as UW has been, USC is their own sort of dysfunctional. The Trojans have a solid 18-11 record, but they’re only a game ahead of the Dawgs in the Big 10 standings. Moreover, they are […]

UW Softball Weekly Roundup: Charging Through San Diego

After the decidedly mixed results of the Mary Nutter Classic, the Husky softball team rebounded in a big way in their journey to San Diego, outscoring their opponents 53-7 across the 5 games this past weekend.

Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies are set to host a massive wave of unofficial visitors next weekend for Junior day and we will make sure we put a list out next weekend of some of the visitors that were on campus. Today I wanted to spend a little time talking about some new 2027 […]

Hobbled Huskies Fall to Hot-Shooting Badgers, 90-73

Two good things happened in the Huskies’ game against Wisconsin. First, Husky legend Detlef Schrempf’s number 22 took its rightful place in the rafters of Hec Ed, and second, Brandon Roy Jr. scored his first career points in a Husky uniform. The rest was a combination of poor shooting, hot shooting by Wisconsin, and injuries […]

Friday Night Q&A With A 2027 3 Star Running Back Considering UW

Happy Friday Husky fans. Today I got a chance to talk with 2027 3 star running back Jeremy Adeyanju from Sandra Day O’Connor HS, AZ. Adeyanju, who is rated as the 84th best running back in the class by 247sports and even higher by on3 (17th best back in the country), holds offers from AZ, […]

Wisconsin Badgers @ Washington Huskies – Preview and Game Thread

Flash back three weeks. The Huskies had just lost to Iowa- undoubtedly a tough game, but arguably the toughest one on the remaining schedule. On paper, the Huskies looked level or better to each of their eight remaining opponents. Winning seven or eight of those games would give the team a winning record in Big […]

UW Softball Weekly Roundup: Nutter Coaster

The Huskies opened the season more or less on plan. They entered the year ranked, but just sneaking into the top 25. Their on-field performances looked like a team on that level, if not slightly better. While they dropped three games in their opening weekend in San Antonio, those losses were competitive and came to […]

Huskies leave Piscataway with victory over Rutgers

Washington travels back to the Pacific Northwest fresh off a victory after downing Rutgers 79-72, splitting the East Coast road trip 1-1, and advancing to 14-14 (5-11 Big Ten) on the year.  Anyone who has ever coached, played, or watched a basketball game knows the phrase: “It’s a game of runs.”  There were several instances […]
