Huskies Take On Ducks and Beavers

This week Thursday and Saturday night the Washington Huskies take on the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers. Also the Washington State Cougars take them on reverse order.

The Huskies last week swept both the Arizona schools in upsets while the Cougars are dead last in the Pac 12 lost to both teams. The Huskies were at the bottom of the league last year having been the surprise team this season under new coach Mike Hopkins. The Huskies currently are in third place in the Pac 12 behind Arizona and USC who they both have beaten.

Noah Dickerson who played exciting ball against both Arizona schools last week was named player of the week not only in the Pac 12 but in the whole NCAA. If the Huskies can split the series on the road than they will have eighteen wins heading into six remaining games on the season in the Pac 12. Next week they take on Utah and Colorado in Seattle followed by Stanford and California on the road. The last week of the season they finish off against the Beavers and Ducks in Seattle. The Stanford game will be the hardest one played in these eight remaining games on the road. The chances are good that they should win majority of these games however if they split half of them they will end the season with twenty-one wins. Whatever the case the Huskies will have a successful season and going to the NCAA tournament would cap it off for sure. If Richardson can continue his top play the rest of the way inside along with the rest of the guys than the Huskies have a really good shot continuing playing good defense along with the offense. Go Huskies!
