Dots: Husky hoops hits the road

Happy Thursday, Dawg fans! Tonight the basketball team, winners of 6 of their last 8, head on the road to face Utah. This is another important road trip if the Huskies want to keep their tournament hopes alive.

To the Dots!

• Scouting website Inside The Pylon has a terrific and in depth report on former Husky BUCK/DE Joe Mathis.

• Jon Wilner’s Never Too Early series predicts the Pac-12 divisions next year. Interesting choice for #2 in the North.

• Wilner’s Thursday stock report sees the Huskies trending up.

• Chris Petersen’s favorite - more stars! Highly regarded LB Brandon Kaho is moving up in the recruiting rankings world, and is now listed as a 5-star and no.1 inside linebacker in the country. This makes him Chris Petersen’s first 5 star recruit.

• NFL Draft early entrees in the Pac-12 cement Washington as the favorite in 2018.

• Bringing it back to basketball, here are Coach Hopkins’ thoughts after the loss to Stanford. Hope to see some improvement tonight against Utah!

• Depending on your perspective, Washington is still in the top half of the conference power rankings.

• Matisse Thybulle has been a menace on defense this year, racking up 3 steals a game, helping him climb the Pac-12 record books.

That’s all for today, GO DAWGS!
