Ready or not, the Washington women’s basketball team’s first season in its new conference begins in earnest this weekend.

College basketball seasons now involve conference games in early December. That wasn't generally the case 20 years ago, when conferences were smaller. USC women's basketball beat Oregon in a conference game in early December.

The Wisconsin women’s basketball team achieved a minor milestone last week that spoke to the state of Badgers hoops one-third of the way through the season. They received votes in the USA Today Coaches poll.

Washington head football coach appears to be zeroing in on his defensive coordinator for the 2025 season with Steve Belichick set to join his father at North Carolina.

But the expectation is that Steve Belichick will be following his father Bill to North Carolina after UW’s bowl game next week (and his buyout drops to $0) which is why the Huskies are reportedly “working to finalize a deal” with former Purdue head coach and Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters.

Former Purdue football coach Ryan Walters is reportedly the "top target" to become the next defensive coordinator at Washington.
