Huskies snap three game skid with win over Gophers

The Washington Huskies (13-13, 5-10 Big Ten) spent Valentine’s Day playing the game they love, and the day was made sweeter by securing a 69-57 victory over Minnesota.

Washington vs. Minnesota Game Preview and Open Thread

Washington saw its flickering NCAA Tournament hopes fully extinguished with a dispiriting home less to Penn St this week.

Huskies Suffer Crushing Upset Loss to Penn St

The 2025-26 UW Men’s Basketball season has been defined by respectable performances against superior rosters. There have been low moments (the loss to Seattle U.) and high points (the victory over Ohio St), but the hallmark of this UW team has been its ability to hang in against top teams without actually getting the win.

WBB Falls Short at #15 Iowa

UW WBB hit the road again to play at #15 Iowa on Wednesday night ultimately losing by 9 points.  UW came out swinging in the 1st quarter, exposing the Iowa defense in back cut after back cut, slashing to the paint and getting easy layins. One of the ways they did this is that UW […]

Washington vs. Penn St Game Preview and Open Thread

After competitive losses to UCLA and Iowa teams that are more “good” than “great,” the Huskies have run to the end of their leash and have no more room for error if they want to keep any postseason dreams alive. Since they have hung with so many of the nation’s top teams, UW remains #44 […]

Now that the 2026 signing day is past (although UW didn’t add any scholarship players this week), the roster is mostly set for the 2026 season.
