What is the story about?
Husky basketball is in full swing and former Dawgs are making plays in the NFL. To the Dots!
Dots
- TE Keleki Latu had 40 receptions in his lone season at Washington and definitely surpassed expectations when he arrived. He’s in his second season in the NFL, with the Buffalo Bills. After just four receptions last season and no touchdowns, he finally opened his NFL account with his first career touchdown last night, on his first target of the season, no less.
- The Huskies beat Mississippi Valley State last night, setting a program record for three point shots attempted. However, MVSU was dead last of 365 teams in KenPom’s rating going into the game. Put another way, Washington actually dropped 13 spots after this win. If you really wanted to feel good about this team, they didn’t just need to win, but absolutely dominate, which they did not.
- Husky basketball legend Isaiah Thomas made his broadcasting debut last night for the Big Ten Network:
- Great stuff from our very own Max Vrooman, comparing the Jedd Fisch coaching tenure to other Husky coaches from the past and current coaches around the sport. Funny seeing Steve Sarkisian rate higher on the “In Job Improvement” metric, but that’s what you get when you start with the bar so low after the Willingham debacle.
- Christian Caple covers Fisch’s Monday press conference, where the coach touches on Demond Williams Jr., first half performances, and other topics ($).
