And, while they keep working toward their goals, they are having plenty of fun along the way. Before a recent practice, the seniors suited up in a different set of uniforms, putting on flight suits as an homage to the movie “Top Gun,” because, with the way Washington has played defense much of the year, this group relies on its “Danger Zone.”
Like the iconic poster work of the Costacos Brothers, this photo and video shoot served as a way to immortalize the contributions these four standouts have made during their time as Huskies. And, while it was certainly something they never expected to be doing, it was an opportunity to create something fun for Washington’s fans.
“I love doing all that type of stuff,” Crisp said. “It’s just another thing the game of basketball comes with. You get to do fun things. You get to make things for the fans they’ll enjoy. That’s what really makes this thing so special. You’ve got a whole community of people supporting you, cheering for you.
“When you can do things to give back to them, to entertain them, that’s a blast.”
A season like this is why these seniors chose Washington.
