- Here’s Adam Jude’s story on the hire from the Seattle Times.
- Christian Caple at The Athletic provided his thoughts as well. Is this hire too close to home?
- A number of Huskies are still alive in the NFL playoffs, including Marcus Peters for the Rams. If they want to beat the Saints on Sunday, they’ll have to play as big as they talk - especially Peters.
- Surprised it took people two years to realize he was this good:

Basketball Dots
- Feels somewhat under reported, but the Huskies have 998 wins inside Hec Ed Pavilion - most by any team in their current arena. They would be the first team in the NCAA with 1000 wins. Beating Stanford tonight makes it 999.
- After an up and down non-conference schedule, the Huskies are looking good at 3-0 in Pac-12 play. They have a chance at a great start tonight by beating Stanford.
- Here’s the game preview from Percy Allen, focusing on the Huskies defense against Seattle native Daejon Davis, which will be a key match up.
- Coach Hop is definitely bringing the New York connection to Seattle. This story from Mason Kelly focuses on Hameir Wright’s journey from NY to Seattle.
- It’s David Crisp’s senior year, and he’s on a mission.
