What to expect today, and a quick note for UW and WSU fans

I'll have a pair of posts up at some point today, one outlining the source of the Mariners' offensive futility, the other my thoughts on the Sonics' overhaul of the front office.

In the meantime, here's this little tidbit for UW and WSU basketball fans: Highly regarded Phoenix-area guard Ty Abbott (right), who the Cougars and Huskies had been recruiting heavily since he was released from his letter of intent to New Mexico, has settled on hometown Arizona State, according to the East Valley Tribune.

At one point, this had been billed as the first major recruiting battle between WSU coach Tony Bennett and UW coach Lorenzo Romar. As it turned out, neither got their man.

This marks the first time UW hasn't lost to WSU in more than two years.

(Just had to get that in there.)
