The Seahawks' Tim Ruskell. Well, him, too, but Kelley's analysis [...]
During his weekly press conference coach Lorenzo Romar didn't have much information on redshirt forward Tyreese Breshers, who injured a right finger in Saturday's game against Belmont. Breshers sat out Sunday because he felt discomfort and couldn't grip the basketball.
Breshers, however, was back on the court Tuesday night at practice [...]
A day after the game, coach Jim Mora still had a tough time swallowing that and 16 other plays from Seattle's 31-20 loss to Arizona.
"I turned" [...]
Mora clarified the injury during his radio show on KIRO-FM Monday morning.
The bruised chest caused bleeding into Jones' lungs, and he remained in Arizona last night at the hospital' [...]
The AP poll was just released and no change for Washington which started the season 14th. We noted earlier, the Huskies dropped a spot in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll to 14th.
It's also interesting to note Washington dropped significantly in the RPI rankings. Last week, UW as [...]
After sweeping this weekend's games, including blowouts against Belmont and Portland State, Washington (3-0) dropped a spot in the ESPN/USA Today poll to 14th. Not sure why.
The top 12 teams in the rankings, led by No. 1 Kansas, remained as they were in the preseason poll. However, Washington [...]

Coach Lorenzo Romar's first words to the media summed up this night: "Progress today."
Romar was obviously happy with the effort after Friday's lackluster 74-69 victory against Wright State. This was the game, the Huskies needed to have.
Said Romar: "Eleven assists on 22 baskets last night and 32 baskets with 17" [...]
This weekend's Athletes in Action Classic holds special meaning for coach Lorenzo Romar, who spent seven years with AIA.

Update: There's something that I wanted to make clear about the above article, which is that I focus on three positions that are "flashpoints" so to speak: coach, quarterback and the' [...]
When the Mariners traded for Jack Wilson, we knew it a move fueled by defense. The front office and coaching staff made no secret of that. Wilson brought a glove, an excellent glove capable of making up for a lackluster bat, and this was okay, because we knew that [...]
Coach Lorenzo Romar told KJR's Mitch Levy that UW freshman point guard Abdul Gaddy reminds him of Jason Kidd. And Brandon Roy. And Mark Jackson.
That's lofty praise for a 17-year-old kid, who hasn't played a game, to be compared to a pair of guys who are among the top three' [...]
They call it Romar Math.
Just mention it to coach Lorenzo Romar and he smiles. Romar math is unconventional and it's not something you'd want to teach your kids.
For instance: After Salesian High star Desmond Simmons signed a national letter of intent this morning, the Huskies appear to have just one' [...]
Salesian High forward Desmond Simmons is the newest member of the Washington men's basketball team.
He signed a natiional letter of intent to UW this morning during a celebration at his high school.
No news yet on anyone else. And I'll know more later today when coach Lorenzo Romar meets with' [...]
Coach Lorenzo Romar said he met with C.J. Wilcox today and they decided the freshman will redshirt this season.
Here's our brief interview with Wilcox.
(What do you want to get out of this season?) "Just experience playing with these guards like Quincy and Isaiah. Playing against these guys is going to" [...]
In his weekly press conference, coach Lorenzo Romar said freshman C.J. Wilcox will redshirt this season.
The other freshmen Abdul Gaddy and Clarence Trent will play this season, however, Romar said he plans to use an 8-9 man rotation, which figures to leave only a few minutes for Trent.
More in a [...]
When you write a story like today's Washington men's preview piece that takes a look at the bond of the three Tacoma-area guys Isaiah Thomas, Abdul Gaddy and Clarence Trent, you always compile more information from interviews and legwork than you need.
Here's some a couple of stories about the [...]
Stopped by the Seattle University exhibition game Saturday night and Redhawks coach Cameron Dollar, the former UW assistant, didn't try to hide his excitement about junior college transfer Charles Garcia, the former Husky recruit.
"He's the best pro prospect in the state," Dollar said. "I've been trying to hide him for" [...]
Not sure if it's one last push or what, but our Mason Kelley reports he saw coach Lorenzo Romar and assistant Paul Fortier in the Kentwood High stands last night.
Obviously they were there watching star basketball player Josh Smith, who is playing football this season.
The early signing period begins [...]
Coach Lorenzo Romar gave the Huskies the day off Thursday so it's not surprising he was preaching "energy, energy" at today's practice inside Harshman gym.
The players responded during the early portion of practice that was open to the media.
Senior co-captain Quincy Pondexter also kept the energy high barking: "every practice" [...]
Had a chance to talk to walk-on Brendan Sherrer this week.
Sherrer is the only one - so far - to make the team after Washington held a tryout for 8-10 players. Another tryout Rudy Sharar, a junior guard from Bainbridge Island, has been working out with the team, however, coach [...]
But this week has been the equivalent of a visit to the psychologist's for the' [...]
