Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images Head football coach Jedd Fisch took a break on the recruiting trail to sit down with Jim Rome on The Jim Rome Show; hence the “burning” reference.

Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Death. Taxes. Significant changes to college football. Numerous media members took to social media to report college football’s move toward “straight seed,” which tweaks the College Football Playoff format. This means the top four teams in the final ranking following the conference championship games will be seeded 1-4.

Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Mocking an injured player by putting him as the featured image of an article would be awful. But today’s image features Terrance Ferguson, who wasn’t injured, and would’ve received a penalty for faking one if it occurred during the upcoming 2025-26 season.

Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images I created this year’s ESPN Tournament Challenge group just to be ranked 16th on the men’s side and 5th on the women’s. Life isn’t fair. But it does go on. MBB: As college basketball season nears an end, UW head coach Danny Sprinkle is making moves to prepare for the next.

NCAA Tournament: UW vs. Columbia Game Thread

Mar 20, 2025 | uwdawgpound.com | Raymond Lucas Jr

The Washington Huskies are back dancing in the NCAA Tournament after being slotted in a First Four match-up. A victory sends the Huskies to the first round, where a date with West Virginia waits; a loss means a flight back to Seattle. The stakes are simple. Win or go ahead, survive and advance. All there’s left to do is play basketball. We will be extremely loose with the definition of trolling and any offenders will be banned.
UWDP Tournament Challenge

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images As Washington’s women’s basketball squad prepares for its First Four clash with Columbia Thursday for a spot in the opening round, you’ve been granted an opportunity to predict if they can become a Cinderella and dance their way into the hearts of hoops fans. Of course, I’m talking about filling out brackets. While both are simple to sign up for, the men’s and women’s brackets require joining separate groups, so double-check if you are interested in both.

Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images If you missed it, here is the link to Part 1 of our UW Men’s Basketball end of season roundtable. Max Vrooman: Diallo B+, Mason B, Harris B, Kepnang B-. Zoom couldn’t hit an outside shot and his defense is lacking but he’s an elite inside driver and scorer as a true freshman. Mason was an F for the first half of the year and an A the 2nd half and I’m really high on his potential moving forward as something clicked.
