Starting tonight Thursday the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team is on the road again this time in the Bay area first against the Stanford Cardinal and then the California Bears.
The Huskies lost two games on the last road trip in Oregon against the Ducks and then the Oakland State Beavers. This was after upsetting Arizona State and Arizona in Seattle. Going into that series they were in good position to make the NCAA tournament. The Huskies record right now are 18-9 overall with a record of 8-6 in the Pac 12. Earlier in the season they lost to the Cardinal in Seattle while beating the Bears. Last Saturday they beat Colorado in a lopsided game 82-59 after a three game losing streak.
The Huskies have four games remaining so if they split these games they will end with a record of 20-11 and a league record of 10-8. This could make it hard for them to make the tournament so winning three out of four would be the best answer. Also they could use winning a big game in the Pac 12 against a team like Arizona or UCLA.
The Huskies should beat California on Saturday however tonight’s game will be a tough game but they have won some good games so far this season. It is important that they split this series but be great if they can upset the Cardinal.
Next week the season ends with the Huskies face Oregon State Thursday afternoon and Oregon on Saturday afternoon. Whatever happens in these final four games plus the Pac 12 this will be a successful season for them. Having eighteen wins is twice as many as last season. New coach Mike Hopkins should be considered as coach of the year in the Pac 12. We hope the next couple weeks we will see a team that beat Kansas, USC, Arizona and Arizona State. We do so than postseason action should be for them. Go Huskies!
