Let's move forward. Today is the day many UW fans have been waiting for ever since Terrence Jones sat at a table, picked up a black Husky baseball cap at his news conference, but didn't sign scholarship papers to Washington.
Jones later agreed to play for Kentucky and became the second UW commit - following Turkish star Enes Kanter - last year to turn their backs on the Huskies.

--- An explosive matchup between Isaiah Thomas and Kentucky freshman Brandon Knight.
--- Washington freshmen Terrence Ross and walk-on Antoine Hosley are long-time friends and former teammates of Jones.
