3 Celebrating a Century of Husky Hoops The campaign was the 100th season in University of Washington basketball history. During the first 100 years, over 700 athletes wore Washington jerseys in 2,556 games during parts of three centuries. The Huskies currently rank 15th among all-time NCAA competitors with 1,548 victories against 1008 defeats. Washington has produced 21 conference champions, 12 NCAA Tournament teams, five National Invitation Tournament teams and 15 consensus All-Americans. University of Washington basketball dates back to the 1890s when class teams competed for the all-university sports title. The first recorded contest against outside competition took place in 1896 when the Seattle Athletic Club dealt a group of Washington students a narrow 3 2 defeat. The fact that the inaugural game went into overtime should have been a sign that Husky basketball would be around a long time. For the next several years, basketball on the Washington campus was an on-again, off-again proposition at best. The first true intercollegiate contest didn t take place until 1903 when Washington handed Ellensburg Normal (now Central Washington) an 11 5 setback. In 1904, Washington played five Oregon college teams on the school s first extended road trip. Following the 1905 season, the UW student body once again lost interest and basketball was deleted from the athletic program, not to reappear until The UW Board of Control, sensing the growing popularity of the sport, reinstated basketball to the athletic program in 1909 with Dr. David C. Hall volunteering as Washington s first official head coach. Basketball was elevated to major sports status on campus in 1910, and Pacific Coast Conference play was initiated in The one constant for 76 of those years was Hec Edmundson Pavilion. The Huskies moved into The Pavilion in 1927 and have played there ever since, with the exception of the This 1911 Washington squad won the Northwest Conference title.

Included in that figure is a schoolrecord 32-game home winning streak from Jan. 29, 2004 to Dec. 29, Last year, 13 sellout crowds led to an average crowd of 9,911 that was the highest total since Those capacity crowds inspired Washington to a 17-2 record. Washington has registered an outstanding winloss record (.739) in the Pavilion, including perfect records in 2005 (15-0), 1984 (12-0), 1953 (16-0), 1951 (17-0) and 1929 (10-0). The Huskies 825 victories at Bank of America Arena are more than any other team in the nation has won in its current arena. Originally designed as a multi-purpose field-house, the Arena has undergone numerous changes throughout its seven decades of service. Known as the University of Washington Pavilion upon its dedication on Dec. 27, 1927, the Huskies defeated Illinois in the inaugural game. The building was dedicated to long-time basketball and track coach, Clarence S. Hec Edmundson on Jan. 16, The original cost of the Pavilion was more than $600,000--the money being raised from a bond issue and an appropriation from the state legislature. The Pavilion serviced all 23 UW sports in some capacity, either housing lockerrooms or providing practice and competition space. The Arena provided a 200-meter venue for the Husky indoor track team. The Pavilion has hosted various concerts, exhibitions and sporting events, including an NBA Playoff game between the Seattle Sonics and the Dallas Mavericks in That home-court advantage led the Sonics into the NBA s Western Division Championship against the world champion Lakers. All-Time Results Seating capacity has fluctuated over the years. With an original capacity of 9,600, the seating was increased to 12,200 in 1947 with the addition of bleachers. That capacity was reduced to 9,400 in The number decreased to 7,900 in the final configuration before the recent renovation. The current configuration accomodates 10,000 spectators. The UW single-game collegiate attendance record was established when 12,242 spectators saw Washington capture the 1951 Northern Division title with a verdict over rival Washington State. The overall attendance record is 12,961, set by the crowd for the semi-finals of the 1957 state high school basketball tournament.

18 GENERAL INFO. Hec Edmundson Pavilion Renovation EXPERIENCE HISTORY RECORDS REVIEW OPPONENTS PLAYERS COACHES PREVIEW 198 Edmundson Pavilion re-opened in with a new name (Bank of America Arena) but retained many of its original features like the west end windows. Venerable Hec Edmundson Pavilion underwent a major overhaul, including its name. The building is now called Bank of America Arena at Edmundson Pavilion. The original architect, Carl Gould, declared upon its completion in 1927 that Madison Square Garden in New York City is probably the only structure that can rival it in flexibility. Gould would be proud of the way his project was upgraded. The Pavilion is a monument to durability. The massive brick structure, with its signature Husky gargoyles on the west facade, is in its ninth decade of service. The 2008 season marks the 79th year basketball teams competed in the building, a stretch that has allowed the UW men s program to compile more wins in the building (825) than any other team in the nation has won in its current arena. Over the years the Pavilion evolved into much more than a basketball facility. Beside men s and women s basketball, the Husky volleyball team has also called the Pavilion home. Husky indoor track meets were held during the winter months. Numerous Washington teams used the facility for off-season conditioning. Hec Edmundson also houses the majority of Washington s locker rooms, visiting team locker rooms, the men s equipment room, the athletic training offices, the gymnastics workout room, numerous new meeting areas, the Founders Club and the Husky Hall of Fame. Pregame and postgame football functions, summer sport camps, graduation ceremonies, community book sales, craft shows, coaching clinics, NBA playoff games, the NCAA basketball championships and even Hollywood movies have all found a home in Hec Ed over the years. The renovation of the Pavilion gave Washington a muchneeded upgrade in competition and practice facilities for several of its athletic teams. The seating capacity was increased from the previous total of 7,900 to a configuration of 10,000. Gone are the support pillars that had obstructed views from the upper level seats since the building s inception. The Pavilion s east end was converted into a practice court for basketball and volleyball. Adorning the west end of the Arena is the Founders Club and a new Hall of Fame room that proudly displays Washington s outstanding athletic tradition. The expanded area offers much more public access to displays, trophies and historical information in addition to serving as a pregame and postgame reception area. While the renovation of the main arena is stunning, the improvements to the support areas will greatly benefit Washington s overall program. They have dramatically increased the space of the sports medicine center facilities, equipment rooms, meeting rooms, media accommodations and locker rooms for many of the UW s teams, including football and men s and women s basketball. The renovation design of Hec Edmundson Pavilion began in the summer of Construction began in March of 1999 and was completed in November of During construction, the men s and women s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams each competed in alternate venues. The men s basketball team played its home games at KeyArena in downtown Seattle. The Edmundson Pavilion renovation is just one of many improvements to the Washington athletic complex as part of the Campaign for the Student Athlete. The campaign raised more than its $36 million goal in private contributions as part of $70 million plan whose long-range goal was to ensure national competitiveness for each of the program s 23 sports. The University is committed to ensuring that the nearly 700 student-athletes who participate receive the highest quality educational and athletic experience possible. Currently, Washington maintains first-class venues in football, softball and indoor tennis. Along with the the renovation of Hec Edmundson Pavilion, the funds raised during the Campaign helped built the new Dempsey Indoor practice facility. The Conibear Shellhouse and Student/Athlete Center, including a pristine student dining facility, opened last spring. Future plans call for the completion of stadiums for the recently constructed baseball and soccer fields.

Workers put the finishing touches to the Pavilion s interior prior to the dedication game on Dec. 27, Washington defeated Illinois in the inaugural game at the Pavilion. Fans line up to attend a game at the Pavilion when its doors first opened in Construction was completed in 10 months, paid for mostly by $500,000 of funds from the Associated Students of the University of Washington. Called the Washington Men s Physical Education Building when it opened in 1927, it was touted as the largest athletic arena west of the Mississippi. This program commemorated the Pavilion s first game. 199 GENERAL INFO. PREVIEW COACHES PLAYERS OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY EXPERIENCE COACHES

27 Seattle... It s a Major League City The Home of the NBA s Seattle Sonics, KeyArena hosted 2004 NCAA first- and second-round games. The Mariners, Sonics and Seahawks. Just name your game and you have it in Seattle. The city has professional franchises in the three major leagues. Each team boasts one of the greatest superstars in their respective sport. The Seahawks,with ninth-year coach Mike Holmgren, are one of best teams in the National Football League. Seattle advanced to the Super Bowl in The Seahawks played all their home games in 2000 and 2001 at Husky Stadium on the Washington campus while their new stadium was being constructed. Mariners all-star outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. (photo courtesy of the Seattle Mariners) The Mariners are one of best attractions in Major League Baseball. They won three American League Western division titles over the past 12 seasons. Seattle participated in the 2001 playoffs with the best record in Major League history. The Mariners marquee star is outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, a fan favorite in America and his native Japan. The Sonics feature No. 2 draft pick Kevin Durant. The NBA Finals came to Seattle in 1996 when the Sonics battled the Chicago Bulls. The Seattle Storm won the 2004 WNBA championship, playing their home games at KeyArena. The Seattle area frequently plays host to other outstanding events. The 2001 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played at Safeco Field. The Kingdome was a regular stop on the NCAA Basketball Tournament tour, having hosted the 1984, 1989 and 1995 Final Fours. Frequent NCAA regionals along with the NBA All-Star Games have visited the Northwest. In 1999 and again in 2004, Seattle s KeyArena played host to the first- and second-round games of the NCAA men s basketball tournament. Seattle also played host to the 1990 Goodwill Games, a 17-day, 21-sport spectacular involving 2,500 athletes from over 50 nations. If it s a dunk, touchdown pass or home run that you want to see, Seattle has it. All that and a terrific city in which to reside. It s a city built around, and for, recreation. You don t have to go very far to find a beach or a ski slope. Fish in a stream or hunt wildlife. Jog along a path or water ski. Hit tennis balls or golf balls. Attend a concert or a theater production. Dance at a club or stroll through a museum. Seattle is what Rand McNally calls it: America s No. 1 vacation place. Puget Sound s addiction to the outdoors is only matched by its devotion to spectator sports. The University of Washington holds a special place in the hearts of Seattle sports fans as its teams pre-dated the arrival of professional sports. Husky football annually leads the Pac-10 in attendance and the basketball crowds have grown with the return to newly-renovated Bank of America Arena. Washington is a major university in a major league city. Before it was demolished, Seattle s Kingdome and the University of Washington hosted three Final Fours. 207 GENERAL INFO.
