There is such a reverse polarity happening in WA state sports right now that I am convinced the Sonics must be coming back soon !
Sources: Smith leaves Wazzu for Stanford job

I think Mark Few is the last one standing in sports in this state ?No doubt, lots of movement in WA sports these days.

Utah State's Danny Sprinkle has accepted the head coaching job at Washington, sources told ESPN.
Fewy will retire a Bulldog....
No kidding...Chet would be a junior and his buddy Jalen Suggs would be a senior
I watched a couple of interviews with Sprinkle last weekend and he seems like a good dude and a good coach. He brought two players with him from Montana State to USU and portal recruited the rest with amazing success this past season. I am not familiar with Washington's program or culture other than they seem to have good teams from time to time. I think he will do well there.No doubt, lots of movement in WA sports these days.

Holmgren would have been a matchup nightmare. Other teams have tried drawing Edey out with not a lot of success. The B1G teams that beat Purdue this season did so from mid range and behind the arc. Turnovers have also been an issue. Both teams are well coached and familiar with one another so I expect it will be a barn burner.
I have Purdue winning the round but would rather see them fall now (not that GU is any easier to deal with at the moment). I don't have either in my FF but the planet seems to have Purdue losing to UConn at the end. I also didn't take UConn for the final.
She's remarkable talent!
Here is a sad “ah, springtime in Northern Idaho” incident tied to the women’s tournament….
Utah shaken after experiencing racism near hotel
Utah coach Lynne Roberts said her team experienced a series of racial hate crimes after arriving at its first NCAA tournament hotel and was forced to change hotels during the event for safety concerns.
x2...one and done has seriously damaged the game, while the women's game is more enjoyable than ever, the players in for the full four years, building an extremely loyal fan base, not to mention hella good team dynamics. Been some barn burners down to the wire last few days.
My only pushback to this is...the game is as exciting as it's ever been...JMO. I also believe that a top tier college athlete's job is to get paid. I'm just glad that their method of earning brings me some personal enjoyment.
