A 2014-15 season that began in such promising fashion for the University of Washington Huskies seems headed for a disappointing conclusion after head coach Lorenzo Romar dismissed starting center Robert Upshaw from the program on Monday.
The Huskies began the season 11-0, rising as high as 13th in the country, and Upshaw was a key reason why. In his first season in Seattle, the 7-foot transfer from Fresno State was leading the country in block percentage and had already set the Washington single-season record for blocks.
