College Basketball Thursday

The Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars play Arizona and Arizona State Thursday night and then reverse for Saturday.

Both teams need victories as they lost two games on the road at Utah and Colorado. The Huskies should have beaten Utah last Thursday but poor referring and lack of making shots down the stretch along with Utah making 12 straight free throws cost the Huskies the game by one point. Both teams lost badly to Colorado.

The Huskies are dead last in the Pac-12 with a record of 2-6 with the Cougars not far behind. We hope that home cooking will help both teams out. 

Both teams have ten games remaining on the season before the Pac-12 conference championship tournament. The Huskies to make it back to the NCAA tournament they must turn things around. They have to do well in the Pac-12 tournament as well. 

Everything looked bright going into conference play but not since. We root for both teams to do well the rest of the way. They will play each other twice coming up soon. I will be rooting for the Huskies.

Gonzaga plays Thursday night as well. They are on the road to Santa Clara. They beat them at home two weeks ago blowing them out 104-54. I hope for the Santa Clara fans it will be a closer game.
