 * Symbol question.svg Article created within seven days of nomination, has the required prose size and is well written and referenced. No copyvio concerns and the hook is inline sourced within the article. User has submitted a QPQ review, so this is nearly good to go. One thing I want to check, his team are referred to simply as Washington in the hook but there is more than one college basketball team in the state. I'm not a basketball expert by any means, but should the link be Washington Huskies or the University itself to avoid confusion? Kosack (talk) 19:37, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * There is Washington State Cougars men's basketball, but they are referred to as "Washington State", not plain "Washington". Linking to the Huskies article seems more relevant per WP:SPECIFICLINK, as we are talking about basketball. That article has a link to the university, for those interested in general info about the university or its academics. If you are concerned about the piping to just "Washington", we could use the more verbose "Washington Huskies", but I'd opt for brevity as slight ambiguity in a hook does not have the same concern as with an article title.  Still, I've added ALT1 below as an option. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 19:56, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'm happy to go with you on the original hook. As I said, I'm no basketball expert, so just wanted to double check that the link was correct. Original hook is good to go. Kosack (talk) 20:09, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
