The Coach
Head Coach Lorenzo Romar, in his 15th year at Washington, has amassed a 293-179 (.621) during his time in Seattle and an overall mark of 386-267 (.591) in 21 seasons. Romar, the longest tenured coach in the Pac-12, has taken the Huskies to the NCAA tournament six times including three Sweet 16 appearances.
Quick Hitters
• Washington is currently shooting 41.8 percent from 3-point range which is 11th nationally and is on pace to set the UW single-season record (40.1, 1988-89)
• Freshman Markelle Fultz is the leading freshman scorer in the NCAA at 22.8 points per game
• Freshman Markelle Fultz is the only player nationally to have single game highs of 35 pts, 14 rebs and 10 assists ... only Patrick Cole of N.C. Central has been close as he has scored 32 pts, pulled down 12 rebs and dished out 10 assists at some point this season.
• Fultz is one of just nine players under Romar to post a 20+ point and 10+ rebound game as he scored 21 and added 14 rebounds at TCU, joining Brandon Roy, Jon Brockman, Spencer Hawes, Quincy Pondexter, Terrence Ross, Matthew Bryan-Amaning, Andrew Andrews and Marquese Chriss. He joins Chriss as the only freshmen to do so.
• Additionally, Fultz is the first Husky since Pondexter in 2009-10 to post 20 pt/10 reb games in back-to-back contests ... QP recorded three-straight from Jan. 26, 2010-Feb. 4, 2010.
• Out of the 55 players nationally averaging over 20 points, only Fultz and Patrick Cole of N.C. Central are also averaging six rebounds and six assists ... Fultz is at 22.8ppg/6.9rpg/6.1apg while Cole is averaging 20.1ppg/7.8rpg/6.5apg.
• Sophomore David Crisp scored all of his 21 points against Nevada in the second half, 16 of which came over the final 10:28, including four-straight 3's from 10:28-7:19.
• Since moving into the starting lineup five games ago, sophomore Noah Dickerson has almost averaged a double-double with 9.8 rebounds and 9.2 points in those five outings while shooting 43.6 percent from the field
• Dickerson has also upped his season rebounding average to 8.0 from 5.2 a year ago
• With his 115 career blocks, senior Malik Dime is in sole possession of fourth-place on UW's all-time blocks list, passing Aziz N'Diaye (2011-13) last outing with his four against Nevada ... the school record is 189, held by Christian Welp (1984-87) ... Dime is 27 away from third (142-Todd MacCulloch, 1996-99)
• Over the last three games, freshman Carlos Johnson is averaging 11.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game (including 3.3 offensive rebounds) compared to his averages of 4.5 ppg and 2.2 rpg over the previous six outings
• Washington is currently fifth in the NCAA in blocks averaging 6.7 per game ... Malik Dime is 12th nationally with his 3.0 per outing ... the Huskies led the NCAA in blocks during the 2015-16 season.
• Defensively, Washington is averaging 36.7 deflections per game while also posting 7.2 steals per game ... additionally, UW is the only team in the Pac-12 with two players in the top three in steals per game in the league as Markelle Fultz is averaging 2.1 and Matisse Thybulle is at 1.9
• UW's roster has no scholarship player that was on scholarship two years ago ... there are only two players that have been here longer than one season (Dan Kingma, Greg Bowman) ..SO Matisse Thybulle is the only returning player to start in all 34 games a year ago ... SO David Crisp and SR captain Malik Dime are the other two that saw action in every game last season.
