Basketball Dots
- There hasn’t been a lot to cheer for this men’s basketball season but the Huskies pulled off the upset last night against a really good Colorado team for their best effort of the year.
- Marcus Tsohonis had a career high 27 points and has been been el fuego recently:

I had no idea Larry Scott was holding back Washington basketball that much

- Unfortunately, the women’s team has been forced to cancel their 5th straight game due to COVID-19 issues within the program.
- It was by far the best game of Jaden McDaniels’ young NBA career despite Minnesota blowing a late lead.

We don't call him "Matisse the Thief" for nothing.
Pac-12 Dots
- Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott has announced as part of a “mutual decision” that he will be stepping down effective June 30. Our own Andrew Berg talked about some of the reasons why the news was met with near universal approval.
- Jon Wilner talks about Scott’s legacy and where the conference might go from here.
From July 2009 to June 2019, Larry Scott made $36,057,637, including $5.4 million in 18-19, per current tax records.
— Kyle Bonagura (@BonaguraESPN) January 21, 2021
Assuming he's paid through the end of his contract in 2022, he'll end up having made somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million as Pac-12 commissioner.
- I mean, could he do any worse?
The Pac-12 will have many great options to replace Larry Scott as Commissioner, but one man stands alone as someone who could certainly get the conference back into the national conversation. #Walton4Commish https://t.co/06qc2sZcMd

Football Dots
- Outgoing DC Pete Kwiatkowski was interviewed on KJR about his decision and essentially said it was just time for him to make a change and dismissed notions of discontent about his role on the Husky staff.
- Christian Caple at The Athletic also sat down with Pete to talk about the move and his Husky career.
- Mike Vorel looks at 8 potential candidates as a replacement for Kwiatkowski.
- Meanwhile Dawgman looks at the impact that losing Coach K will have on recruiting.
Huskies infamously were in his final 3 and narrowly missed out during his recruitment out of high school. https://t.co/lhbADAeNej
