Washington is widely regarded as the greatest men's basketball player in SOU history and is the only one to have made more than one All-America team – landing on the second team as a sophomore, the first team as a junior and taking Player of the Year honors as a senior. He broke the Raiders' all-time records for points (1,920) and blocked shots (169) in just three seasons after transferring from Montana State, averaging 20.2 points on 58-percent shooting, 10 rebounds and 1.8 blocks for his career. The Raiders qualified for back-to-back national tournaments for the first time in team history in his final two seasons under coach Brian McDermott. He was the Cascade Conference MVP in both, and as a junior, after leading the Raiders to CCC regular-season and tournament titles, they advanced to the national quarterfinals for the first time.
