Player of the Week:
Junior guard Deon Luton was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week on Monday for the second time this season. He averaged 23.5 points on 65-percent shooting in a home sweep of the Arizona schools. Luton hit 7-of-10 shots from 3-point range last week. He scored a season-high 27 points in Saturdays 93-85 win over Arizona State and led a 90-84 upset of 10th-ranked Arizona with 20 points, including 4-of-6 shooting on treys. Luton also was named the Player of the Week on Nov. 30 and is only the third Husky to earn the weekly Pac-10 honor twice in the same season. He joins Chris Welp (1986) and Todd MacCulloch (1998). MacCulloch received the conference honor on Jan. 18, giving the Huskies three Pac-10 Player of the Week awards for the second straight season.

The Oregon State Series:
Last Meeting:
Washington 70, Oregon State 50 (Jan. 14, 1999; Seattle)
Todd MacCulloch scored 12 of his 20 points early in the second half, helping Washington pull away for a 70-50 victory over Oregon State at Edmundson Pavilion. Washington (8-6, 1-3) extended its winning streak to six games over the Beavers (8-6, 2-3), its longest against OSU since 1953. The Huskies rode a balanced scoring attack to a 32-25 halftime advantage. MacCullochs 12 second-half points, capped by a layin with 6:54 remaining, helped push the lead to 59-40. MacCulloch hit 9-of-12 shots and completed a double-double with 13 rebounds. Michael Johnson added 12 points for the Huskies who also got 10 from Deon Luton. Deaundra Tanner paced the Beavers with 14 points. Washington shot 51 percent (26-51) against an Oregon State team ranked third nationally by holding opponents to 35.1-percent field goal shooting.
Poll Patter:
Washington is not listed among the Top-25 in the two major polls. The Huskies were tied for the No. 25 spot in the Dec. 14 ESPN/USA Today coaches ratings before falling out. Washington dropped out of the Associated Press poll after being ranked No. 22 on Dec. 7. The Huskies opened the season in the No. 14 spot of both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls, their first preseason ranking in 14 years. The last time a Washington team received preseason mention in the AP media poll was a No. 8 ranking on Nov. 27, 1984. This was the first time the Huskies have been recognized by the AP at any juncture of the season since Dec. 30, 1984 when they were No. 15. That Marv Harshman-coached Washington team featured Detlef Schrempf and was coming off a Sweet 16 appearance in the 1984 NCAA Tournament. Washington plays five teams ranked in both major polls, including two of the top six in the A.P. rankings. Second-ranked Connecticut defeated the UW 69-48 on Dec. 1 at the Great Eight Classic in Chicago. Stanford, a Final Four qualifier with all five starters returning, is No. 6 in the A.P. rankings. The Huskies have defeated three ranked opponents (ranking at game time listed): Arizona (10), UCLA (11) and New Mexico (11).
Strenuous Schedule:
Washingtons 1999 schedule is listed as the nations fourth most difficult in the Feb. 6 Rating Percentage Index (RPI) published by the Associated Press. Five 1999 Husky opponents are ranked in the current AP poll. The 1999 UW schedule features 14 games against 1998 postseason competitors, including qualifiers from the Final Four (Stanford), Elite Eight (Arizona, UConn) and Sweet 16 (UCLA) along with NCAA teams New Mexico and Saint Louis. Following is a chart listing the Feb. 6 RPI strength-of-schedule ratings.
Rank Team Rating Rank Team Rating
1. Duke .657 6. Indiana .630
2. Florida State .645 7. Iowa .624
3. Stanford .663 8. Kansas .619
4. WASHINGTON .618 9. Kentucky .616
5. Michigan State .633 10. Maryland .615

The 85-83 win over USC (Jan. 28) was the only UW win this season by fewer than six points . . . The Huskies 1998-99 Division I opponents have a combined 246-137 record for an impressive 64-percent winning ratio . . . Freshman point guard Senque Carey started the last nine games, scoring double-figure points in eight of them and averaging 14.7 points . . . The UW is 11-2 when Deon Luton hits multiple 3-pointers. . .

Donald Watts is averaging 4.8 assists per game during Pac-10 play, including 10 assists at Arizona (Jan. 9) that marked the first double-figure assist outing by a Husky since Chris Thompson had 10 vs. Washington State on Feb. 15, 1997 . . . Coach Bob Bender pushed his six-year Washington record above .500 for the first time with a Jan. 31 victory over UCLA and now is 82-79. He evened his overall UW record on four occasions this season, but followed with a loss each of the first three times. Bender, who opened his Husky coaching career with a 15-39 mark after two years, is 67-40 over his last four seasons.
Home Sweet Home:
The Huskies just concluded a perfect four-game homestand in Seattle where they have played only 10 of their 21 games this season. They played five of their first seven Pac-10 games on the road. The UW has a perfect 10-0 record this season in Seattle, including nine wins at Edmundson Pavilion. The Huskies defeated then No. 11 New Mexico 70-61 on Dec. 24 at KeyArena. Washington has a 14-game winning streak in Seattle and won 22 of its last 24 home games. The Huskies current 14-game home winning streak is their longest in 14 years, dating back to an 18-game winning streak that ended on Jan. 3, 1985.
Instant Replay:
Washington won its 14th consecutive home game, capping a perfect four-game homestand with a 93-85 win over Arizona State (Feb. 6) after upsetting 10th-ranked Arizona 90-84 (Feb. 4). That was the first UW win over a Top-10 foe in its last 12 tries, dating to a 92-88 win over No. 10 Arizona on Feb. 2, 1997, and the second straight win over a ranked foe as UW dispatched No. 11 UCLA 93-83 (Jan. 31). Washington opened the homestand with an 85-83 win over USC (Jan. 28). The Huskies earned a split in the Bay Area, defeating California 87-73 (Jan. 21) behind the 31-point, 17-rebound performance of Todd MacCulloch before suffering a 67-60 setback at No. 3 Stanford (Jan. 23). The Huskies swept the home series from the Oregon schools for the third straight season, posting an 86-76 overtime decision over Oregon (Jan. 16) and a 70-50 triumph against Oregon State (Jan. 14) that halted a three-game losing streak. They were beaten 88-86 on a last-second shot at No. 8 Arizona (Jan. 9), lost 96-72 at Arizona State (Jan. 7) and 72-71 at Washington State (Jan. 3).
Washington capped its fourth consecutive seven-win non-conference season Dec. 30 with an 81-72 win over Portland. The Huskies upset 11th-ranked New Mexico 70-61 (Dec. 24), dealing the Lobos their fist loss of the season. Washington halted a three-game losing streak on Dec. 19 with a 73-53 victory over New Mexico State. That was the first UW home game since the season-opening 70-63 win over UNC Wilmington on Nov. 16. The Huskies lost 82-71 at Gonzaga (Dec. 8) after suffering a 69-61 setback at Boise State (Dec. 5) that gave BSU a school-record 17-game home winning streak. UW lost 69-48 to top-ranked Connecticut (Dec. 1) at the Great Eight Classic in Chicago. That loss halted a four-game season-opening winning streak that culminated with a 76-60 triumph over Georgia Tech in the title game of the Big Island Invitational in Hilo, Hawaii. Washington posted a 20-10 record last season, earning its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1986. The Huskies advanced to the Sweet 16 with wins over Xavier (69-68) and Richmond (81-66).
Meet the Press:
Bob Bender conducts weekly media meetings every Tuesday at 10 a.m. in the basketball meeting area (room 221) located on the second floor of the Graves Building which is directly north of Edmundson Pavilion.
Sonics & Sons:
Four former Seattle SuperSonics have sons on the 1999 Washington basketball roster. The list of former NBA players (and sons) includes, Fred Brown (Bryan), Lonnie Shelton (Marlon), Slick Watts (Donald) and Paul Westphal (Michael). A graduate of Iowa, Fred Brown is the Sonics all-time leading scorer with 14,018 points. Brown played his entire 13-year NBA career in Seattle and was a 1976 all-star. Lonnie Shelton was a 1975 All-Pac-8 Conference selection at Oregon State. He played 15 NBA seasons and was a 1982 all-star. Shelton played from 1979-83 in Seattle. Brown and Shelton were members of Seattles 1979 NBA Championship squad. Slick Watts led the NBA in assists (8.1) and steals (3.2) in 1976, the first player in history to top both categories during the same season. The six-year NBA veteran played in Seattle from 1974-78. Paul Westphal was a two-time (1970 & 71) All-Pac-8 pick at USC. The five-time NBA all-star played during the 1980-81 season in Seattle and returned this summer as head coach of the Sonics.
Shootin Luton:
Junior Deon Luton has amassed 20 points in eight of his last 14 outings, including a season-high 27-point output against Arizona State (Feb. 6). He holds every Washington school 3-point shooting record. Luton hit three 3-pointers at Washington State (Jan. 3) to break the Husky career record of 119 treys established by Eldridge Recasner (1987-90). Luton owns Washington career (142), single-season (75 in 1998) and single-game (7) 3-point records. He hit seven treys at USC on Jan. 29, 1998. The Huskies have an 11-2 record this season and are 32-9 during his career when Luton hits more than one 3-point basket. Luton was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week on Monday for the second time this season after averaging 23.5 points on 65-percent shooting in a home sweep of the Arizona schools. Luton hit 7-of-10 shots from 3-point range last week. He scored a season-high 27 points in a 93-85 win over Arizona State and led a 90-84 upset of No. 10 Arizona with 20 points. Luton also was named the Player of the Week on Nov. 30 and is only the third Husky to earn the weekly Pac-10 honor twice in the same season. He joins Chris Welp (1986) and Todd MacCulloch (1998). Luton was the MVP of the Big Island Invitational. Luton was a 1998 honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection. Last year he accounted for over half (75-of-147) of Washingtons 3-pointers. Luton converted 5-of-7 treys in the NCAA second-round win over Richmond. He had three 3-pointers and hit a 17-foot jumper with 11 seconds remaining that was the game-winning basket in the first-round against Xavier. Luton has 41 treys this season, nearly three times that of any other Husky.
Wonderful Watts:
Senior guard Donald Watts scored a season-high 24 points on Feb. 4 against Arizona to become the 26th player in Husky history to surpass the career 1,000-point plateau. He currently ranks No. 25 among all-time Huskies with 1,028 points. Watts has steadily increased his contributions in every category upon returning from a severe ankle injury. The 24-point outburst against Arizona was the first 20-point outing of the season for Watts who had 13 such performances last year. He led the team in scoring for the first game this season, a feat he accomplished 11 times in 1998. Watts started the last 10 games after missing nearly a month with a sprained right ankle suffered in the first half at Boise State on Dec. 5. He missed four games. Prior to the injury Watts made 41 consecutive starts and missed only one outing in his four-year career, playing 91 of 92 possible games. He is the Huskies third-leading scorer (11.6 ppg), and boasts a 13.7-point scoring average in Pac-10 games. Watts contributed 14 points, six rebounds and five assists at Washington State (Jan. 3) in his return from the near month-long absence. He tallied 18 points and 10 assists at Arizona (Jan. 9), the first double-digit assist game by a Husky since Chris Thompson had 10 against Washington State on Feb. 15, 1997. Watts has a team-leading average of 3.9 assists per game and led the team on eight occasions. He usually defends the opponents top offensive threat. Boise States Roberto Bergersen tallied 28 of his 32 points after Watts departed with 5:41 left in the first half.

Last Game:
Washington 93, Arizona State 85 (Feb. 6, 1999; Seattle)
Deon Luton scored 27 points and Todd MacCulloch added 22 as Washington overhwelmed Arizona State 93-85 at Edmundson Pavilion. Those two were the hottest of the hot Huskies who combined to shoot 67.3 percent from the field (33-49), the fourth-best single-game accuracy in school history. MacCulloch, who led the nation in field goal percentage the past two seasons, was 10-of-11 from the field and grabbed 11 rebounds. Luton was 9-of-11, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range. Washington (14-7, 7-4) capped a perfect four-game homestand and extended its home winning streak to 14 games. The Huskies converted their first eight shots en route to an 18-4 lead. They hit 14 of their first 16 shots to take their largest lead at 32-13 with 10:21 left in the first half. Alton Mason scored seven points during a 13-point Sun Devil run that cut the lead to 32-26. The UW lead was 50-37 at halftime and Arizona State (13-10, 5-6) never got closer than six points after intermission. Senque Carey tallied 18 points for the Huskies who also got 10 from Donald Watts. Mike Batiste scored 22 of his 28 points in the second half while Bobby Lazor added 16 for ASU. Mason finished with 14 points.
The Oregon Series:
Last Meeting:
Washington 86, Oregon 76 OT (Jan. 16, 1999; Seattle)
Deon Luton scored 10 of his 23 points during overtime, lifting Washington to an 86-76 victory over Oregon at Edmundson Pavilion. Todd MacCulloch led the Huskies (9-6, 2-3) with 27 points and 12 rebounds, but fouled out with 52.6 second left in regulation. Oregons Mike Carson converted one of two free throws and tied the score at 65-65 with a dunk on an inbounds play with 48.8 seconds remaining. Luton opened the overtime with a 3-pointer and assisted on the go-ahead basket, a long pass for a Senque Carey layin that put the Huskies ahead 74-73 with 1:17 left in the extra session. Luton tallied the final seven points on two dunks and three free throws. Oregon (10-5, 2-4) led by as many as nine points in the first half before the Huskies staged a 20-4 run en route to a 41-38 halftime edge. Washington led the entire second half until Carsons dunk forced overtime. Terik Brown scored 15 points to lead five Duck double-digit scorers. Alex Scales added 13 points and Carson had 12. Donald Watts scored 14 points and Carey added 13.

Fabulous Freshman:
Freshman point guard Senque Carey has thrived under difficult circumstances. Carey was thrust into the starting point guard role for the last nine games due to the season-ending foot injury to Dan Dickau. Carey responded with double-figure points in eight of the last nine games, including a season-high 19-point total at Arizona (Jan. 9) that he matched against USC (Jan. 28). He is averaging 12.6 points during Pac-10 play, including 14.7 as a starter. Carey led the Huskies in scoring three times and was the teams top assister on a team-high nine occasions this season. His 73 assists already place him third among all-time Washington freshman players.
Carey the Catalyst:
Since freshman Senque Careys inclusion in the lineup as a full-time starter on Jan. 9 at Arizona, Washington has a 7-2 record. Carey has been a catalyst for a vastly improved offense that is averaging 13 points a game more with him at the helm. The team is shooting over four percentage points higher and records nearly four more assists per outing. The following chart compares Washingtons first 12 games and its last nine, with Carey as a starter.

Shuffling Starters:
Stability was a key to Washingtons Sweet 16 surge last year. Four players started every game in 1998 (Deon Luton, Todd MacCulloch, Donald Watts & Jan Wooten). The remaining spot was filled by three players, giving the Huskies only three different starting lineups all season. Washington has already used seven different starting lineups this season and only two players have started every game (Deon Luton & Todd MacCulloch). The lineup of Chris Walcott, Todd MacCulloch, Senque Carey, Deon Luton and Donald Watts started the last five games, winning the last four. The following chart lists the records of different UW units.

Dynamic Starting Debut:
Two years had passed since sophomore Greg Clark started his last game, as a senior at San Diegos Grossmont High School. He was sidelined with a dislocated left shoulder his freshman season at Long Beach State before sitting out last year at Washington as a red shirt. Clark made his collegiate starting debut on Dec. 24 against No. 11 New Mexico and helped the Huskies to a 70-61 win. The 6-6 swingman displayed the offensive prowess he was known for as a prep All-American, amassing nine points, seven rebounds and four assists. It was on the defensive end that Clark was most spectacular. He made three steals while shutting down Lamont Long, one of the nations leading scorers who entered the game averaging 24.1 points, without a point in 40 minutes. "We have enough scorers. I want to take the role as the leading defensive player," Clark remarked after the New Mexico game. Clark started eight straight games before playing a reserve role in the last five outings.
Court Report:
Washington was the second straight Pac-10 team to capture the Big Island Invitational (Hilo, Hi.) championship, following Stanford which parlayed a 1997 Invitational championship into a 1998 Final Four run . . . Washington limited opponents to a combined 42.4 percent from the field in 14 victories (370-873) and 46.7 percent (189-405) in its seven losses . . . The Huskies limited New Mexico to 61 points, over 30 points below the 92.4-point scoring average the Lobos brought into the game. Lobo forward Lamont Long, who entered the game ranked No. 7 nationally in scoring (24.1 ppg), played 40 minutes and was held scoreless by Washingtons Greg Clark.
Frequent Flyers:
The Huskies amassed over 8,000 miles during their first road trip this season. Washington flew to Hawaii via Los Angeles on Monday, Nov. 23. Following the three-game Big Island Invitational, the Huskies endured a 4,299-mile trip to Chicago via Los Angeles. Washington departed Hilo on Sunday evening at 12:10 a.m. Central Time and arrived in the Windy City on Monday, Nov. 30 at 12:52 p.m. Central Time. The Huskies returned to Seattle on Wednesday, Dec. 2 to complete the 10-day journey. On Friday, Dec. 4 they set out on a much shorter trip, a 399-mile flight to Boise, Idaho on Dec. 5 before their visit to Spokane to play Gonzaga. The Huskies returned to Seattle on Wednesday, Dec. 9 and remain home until Jan. 2. The game on Dec. 19 was UWs first at home in 32 days, dating to the home opener on Nov. 16.
Dickau - OW!:
Sophomore point guard Dan Dickau had surgery on Jan. 15 to repair a fracture on his left heel (calcaneus bone) that was discovered by x-rays on Jan. 13. He is out for the season. Dickau broke the navicular bone on top of his left foot during the summer that sidelined him from July to October. A bone spur that developed in that location was removed during the Jan. 15 surgery. Dickau started 11 games this year, averaging 4.6 points and a then team-high 34 assists. A seven-point performance in a last-second, 88-86 loss at No. 8 Arizona on Jan. 9 appears to be Dickaus final appearance of the 1999 season. He averaged 3.6 points per game last year and was an honorable mention All-Pac-10 freshman selection. Dickau was the 1997 Washington Class AAA prep Player of the Year out of Prairie High School in Vancouver. "I feel bad for Dan because no one has woked harder to help this team have success," said Coach Bob Bender.
Injury Update:
High Hopes:
The Huskies return four starters and nine letterman from a team that came within one second of the Elite Eight and was ranked No. 24 in the final ESPN/USA Today poll. Returning talent represents 85-percent of the points from the 1998 team that averaged 78.7 points per game, the highest figure since 1976. The high-scoring trio of seniors Todd MacCulloch (18.6) and Donald Watts (16.9) along with junior Deon Luton (15.4) returns after combining for 50.8 points per outing last season. MacCulloch, a first-team All-Pac-10 center, led the nation in field goal shooting the last two years (67.6% in 1997, 65.0% in 1998) and is a two-time Playboy All-American. Watts and Luton were both 1998 honorable mention All-Pac-10 selections.
Sweet Season:
"Sweet." How better to describe a 1998 season during which Washington returned to the NCAA Tournament after a 12-year absence, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984? The Huskies completed the campaign with a 20-10 record, their first 20-win season since 1987. They finished fourth in the Pac-10 with an 11-7 mark. Washington garnered its first NCAA Tournament invitation since 1986 and proceeded to defeat Xavier and Richmond before a last-second loss to Connecticut. The UW improved its record during each of Coach Bob Benders first five seasons. His inaugural team in 1994 had a 5-22 record followed by a 10-17 mark in 1995, 16-12 in 1996, 17-11 in 1997 and 20-10 last year. The improvement has been difficult due to the parellel rise of the Pacific-10 Conference which produced two of the last four NCAA champions and advanced four teams to the Sweet 16 each of the last two seasons.
Departures:
Only three players from last years team did not return, including starting point guard Jan Wooten who averaged 5.7 points and 2.7 assists per game in 1998. Another point guard, Chris Thompson, has used up his eligibility and will join the Husky staff as a student assistant coach. Patrick Femerling, a 7-1 center averaged 5.7 points and ranked second on the team with 6.1 rebounds per game. He decided to forego his senior season and signed in July with a team from Berling of the professional league in his native Germany.

Bender Bio:
Bob Bender, who made his first NCAA Tournament appearance as head coach at Washington in 1998, has participated in the NCAA Tournament at every school with which he has been affiliated. Bender, 41, has a six-year record of 82-79 at Washington, including a 20-10 record in 1998 that marked the schools finest winning percentage since 1985. Among the 1998 Husky highlights were their first 20-win season since 1987, their first NCAA berth since 1986 and their first Sweet 16 appearance since 1984. The 1997 UW team posted a 17-11 record, capped by the Huskies second straight National Invitation Tournament appearance. Washingtons record has improved each season under Bender, including a 16-12 mark in 1996 after which he was voted the Pac-10 Coach of the Year by his peers. The UW was 5-22 in 1994 and 10-17 in 1995. His 82 victories rank fourth among all-time Washington coaches. Bender, who began his career with a four-year stint at Illinois State (1990-93), has a 10-year career record of 142-136. His Illinois State squads were 60-57, earning two Missouri Valley Conference championships, one conference tournament title and an NCAA Tournament berth in 1990. Prior to his inaugural head coaching assignment at ISU, Bender served as an assistant on Mike Krzyzewskis Duke staff (1983-89). The Blue Devils qualified for the NCAA Tournament in each of Benders six seasons on the staff, including four trips to the Final Four. Bender is the only individual to play on two different teams in the NCAA Championship game. He was a freshman on Bobby Knights undefeated 1976 Indiana championship team and played point guard at Duke from 1977-80, including an appearance in the 1978 title game against Kentucky.

Mistaken Identity:
Todd MacCulloch worked as a volunteer at the Final Four in Seattle in April of 1995 and had autograph requests from spectators who mistook him for former 7-foot Oklahoma State center Bryant "Big Country" Reeves. "Id take it as a compliment if my game is ever compared to his," MacCulloch remarked during the 1995 Final Four.
Century Club:
Todd MacCulloch became the seventh player in Husky history to score 1,500 points with a 31-point outing at Cal on Jan. 21. On Jan. 31, he vaulted ahead of the 1,548-point total of James Edwards (1974-77) and into the No. 4 spot among UW career scorers with a current total of 1,590 points. Eldridge Recasner (1987-90) is third with 1,700 points.

Provincial Playboy:
A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada, Todd MacCulloch probably never dreamed his travels in the United States would take him to Playboy magazine headquarters in Chicago. He was twice selected to the Playboy All-America team. MacCulloch and nine other players on the 1999 All-America squad along with Utah Coach Rick Majerus are featured in the January 1999 issue of Playboy. The other members of the 1999 All-America team are: Elton Brand (Duke), Mateen Cleeves (Michigan State), Khalid El-Amin (Connecticut), Evan Eschmeyer (Northwestern), A.J. Guyton (Indiana), Richard Hamilton (Connecticut), B.J. McKie (South Carolina), Andre Miller (Utah) and Wally Szczerbiak (Miami, Ohio). MacCulloch was selected as a 1998 Playboy All-American and joined nine other players and Coach Lute Olson in Chicago during a photo shoot for the December 1997 issue. The other 1998 Playboy All-Americans were: Mike Bibby (Arizona), Zendon Hamilton (St. Johns), Drew Hansen (Utah, scholar/athlete), Raef LaFrentz (Kansas), B.J. McKie (South Carolina), Paul Pierce (Kansas), Miles Simon (Arizona), Kenny Thomas (New Mexico) and Robert Traylor (Michigan). "Its kind of scary. You dont buy that magazine to look at someone like me," MacCulloch said of his Playboy apperance. Featured on the December 1997 cover was another Canuck, Miss Canada 1995.
Todd Tidbits:
Todd MacCulloch ranks No. 2 nationally with 11.6 rebounds per game, trailing only Ian McGinnis of Dartmouth (12.4 rpg) . . . MacCullochs Pac-10 leading 243 rebounds are nearly four times more than any other Husky (Chris Walcott is second with 63 boards) . . . Todd MacCulloch posted his third career 20-20 on Jan. 31, amassing 26 points and 21 rebounds against UCLA . . . MacCulloch has double-doubles in seven of his last eight outings, and is tied with Arizonas A.J. Bramlett for the Pac-10 lead with 13 double-doubles this season.
Fabulous Freshman: Freshman point guard Senque Carey has thrived under difficult circumstances. Carey was thrust into the starting point guard role for the last nine games due to the season-ending foot injury to Dan Dickau. Carey responded with double-figure points in eight of the last nine games, including a season-high 19-point total at Arizona (Jan. 9) that he matched against USC (Jan. 28). He is averaging 12.6 points during Pac-10 play, including 14.7 as a starter. Carey led the Huskies in scoring three times and was the teams top assister on a team-high nine occasions this season. His 73 assists already place him third among all-time Washington freshman players.
Carey the Catalyst: Since freshman Senque Careys inclusion in the lineup as a full-time starter on Jan. 9 at Arizona, Washington has a 7-2 record. Carey has been a catalyst for a vastly improved offense that is averaging 13 points a game more with him at the helm. The team is shooting over four percentage points higher and records nearly four more assists per outing. The following chart compares Washingtons first 12 games and its last nine, with Carey as a starter.

Shuffling Starters:
Stability was a key to Washingtons Sweet 16 surge last year. Four players started every game in 1998 (Deon Luton, Todd MacCulloch, Donald Watts & Jan Wooten). The remaining spot was filled by three players, giving the Huskies only three different starting lineups all season. Washington has already used seven different starting lineups this season and only two players have started every game (Deon Luton & Todd MacCulloch). The lineup of Chris Walcott, Todd MacCulloch, Senque Carey, Deon Luton and Donald Watts started the last five games, winning the last four. The following chart lists the records of different UW units.

Dynamic Starting Debut:
Two years had passed since sophomore Greg Clark started his last game, as a senior at San Diegos Grossmont High School. He was sidelined with a dislocated left shoulder his freshman season at Long Beach State before sitting out last year at Washington as a red shirt. Clark made his collegiate starting debut on Dec. 24 against No. 11 New Mexico and helped the Huskies to a 70-61 win. The 6-6 swingman displayed the offensive prowess he was known for as a prep All-American, amassing nine points, seven rebounds and four assists. It was on the defensive end that Clark was most spectacular. He made three steals while shutting down Lamont Long, one of the nations leading scorers who entered the game averaging 24.1 points, without a point in 40 minutes. "We have enough scorers. I want to take the role as the leading defensive player," Clark remarked after the New Mexico game. Clark started eight straight games before playing a reserve role in the last five outings.
Court Report:
Washington was the second straight Pac-10 team to capture the Big Island Invitational (Hilo, Hi.) championship, following Stanford which parlayed a 1997 Invitational championship into a 1998 Final Four run . . . Washington limited opponents to a combined 42.4 percent from the field in 14 victories (370-873) and 46.7 percent (189-405) in its seven losses . . . The Huskies limited New Mexico to 61 points, over 30 points below the 92.4-point scoring average the Lobos brought into the game. Lobo forward Lamont Long, who entered the game ranked No. 7 nationally in scoring (24.1 ppg), played 40 minutes and was held scoreless by Washingtons Greg Clark.
Frequent Flyers:
The Huskies amassed over 8,000 miles during their first road trip this season. Washington flew to Hawaii via Los Angeles on Monday, Nov. 23. Following the three-game Big Island Invitational, the Huskies endured a 4,299-mile trip to Chicago via Los Angeles. Washington departed Hilo on Sunday evening at 12:10 a.m. Central Time and arrived in the Windy City on Monday, Nov. 30 at 12:52 p.m. Central Time. The Huskies returned to Seattle on Wednesday, Dec. 2 to complete the 10-day journey. On Friday, Dec. 4 they set out on a much shorter trip, a 399-mile flight to Boise, Idaho on Dec. 5 before their visit to Spokane to play Gonzaga. The Huskies returned to Seattle on Wednesday, Dec. 9 and remain home until Jan. 2. The game on Dec. 19 was UWs first at home in 32 days, dating to the home opener on Nov. 16.
Dickau - OW!:
Sophomore point guard Dan Dickau had surgery on Jan. 15 to repair a fracture on his left heel (calcaneus bone) that was discovered by x-rays on Jan. 13. He is out for the season. Dickau broke the navicular bone on top of his left foot during the summer that sidelined him from July to October. A bone spur that developed in that location was removed during the Jan. 15 surgery. Dickau started 11 games this year, averaging 4.6 points and a then team-high 34 assists. A seven-point performance in a last-second, 88-86 loss at No. 8 Arizona on Jan. 9 appears to be Dickaus final appearance of the 1999 season. He averaged 3.6 points per game last year and was an honorable mention All-Pac-10 freshman selection. Dickau was the 1997 Washington Class AAA prep Player of the Year out of Prairie High School in Vancouver. "I feel bad for Dan because no one has woked harder to help this team have success," said Coach Bob Bender.
Injury Update:
High Hopes:
The Huskies return four starters and nine letterman from a team that came within one second of the Elite Eight and was ranked No. 24 in the final ESPN/USA Today poll. Returning talent represents 85-percent of the points from the 1998 team that averaged 78.7 points per game, the highest figure since 1976. The high-scoring trio of seniors Todd MacCulloch (18.6) and Donald Watts (16.9) along with junior Deon Luton (15.4) returns after combining for 50.8 points per outing last season. MacCulloch, a first-team All-Pac-10 center, led the nation in field goal shooting the last two years (67.6% in 1997, 65.0% in 1998) and is a two-time Playboy All-American. Watts and Luton were both 1998 honorable mention All-Pac-10 selections.
Sweet Season:
"Sweet." How better to describe a 1998 season during which Washington returned to the NCAA Tournament after a 12-year absence, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984? The Huskies completed the campaign with a 20-10 record, their first 20-win season since 1987. They finished fourth in the Pac-10 with an 11-7 mark. Washington garnered its first NCAA Tournament invitation since 1986 and proceeded to defeat Xavier and Richmond before a last-second loss to Connecticut. The UW improved its record during each of Coach Bob Benders first five seasons. His inaugural team in 1994 had a 5-22 record followed by a 10-17 mark in 1995, 16-12 in 1996, 17-11 in 1997 and 20-10 last year. The improvement has been difficult due to the parellel rise of the Pacific-10 Conference which produced two of the last four NCAA champions and advanced four teams to the Sweet 16 each of the last two seasons.
Departures:
Only three players from last years team did not return, including starting point guard Jan Wooten who averaged 5.7 points and 2.7 assists per game in 1998. Another point guard, Chris Thompson, has used up his eligibility and will join the Husky staff as a student assistant coach. Patrick Femerling, a 7-1 center averaged 5.7 points and ranked second on the team with 6.1 rebounds per game. He decided to forego his senior season and signed in July with a team from Berling of the professional league in his native Germany.
