Taking an interest in Washington Huskies basketball is gradually becoming a thing.
Or at the least it appears that way. UW opened the season with questions about how a revamped roster would adapt to new head coach Mike Hopkins. The result, so far, is off the charts.
Last year the Huskies won only nine games total and just two in Pac-12 conference. UW (12-4, 2-1 Pac-12) isn’t a gimme game anymore. The Huskies have won at Kansas and if not for a second-half shooting slump at UCLA, they could be 3-0 in conference play.
CBS Sports and SB Nation have projected UW reaching the NCAA Tournament.
