The Washington Huskies men's basketball team has won the Pac-12 Conference this year, however, they lost the final game at home losing to the Oregon Ducks 55-47.
The Huskies have been struggling the last month or so on the offensive side of the ball. Against the Ducks, they shot only 15% behind the 3 point line. Matisse Thybulle made two out of the three points in the first half. The Huskies had scored only eight points with three and a half minutes in the first half. The half-time score ended up being 27-18.
The Huskies were able to get within three points early on in the second half at 28-25, however, they were never able to get any closer in the game though they made a tough game. The Ducks were able to hold on winning 55-47. This was the lowest scoring game of the season for the Huskies.
Now they play in the Pac-12 tournament beginning this coming Thursday against the winner of USC and Arizona. It will be important the Huskies do well in the tournament to make the NCAA tournament.
Saturday the Mariners announced that Marco Gonzales will start the opening game of the season against the Oakland A's in Tokyo, Japan on March 20. He will likely make the home opener on March 28 against the Boston Red Sox as well.
Right now Kyle Seager is injured. He had an MRI on Saturday and results should come forward Sunday. Likely he will be out a few days, and whether he will play in Japan wouldn't be determined until how the results come out.
The Mariners should be reducing the roster either today or tomorrow since there are 57 players in camp and they will likely take 30 players to Japan. Jerry Dipoto on Friday said that Dan Vogelbach has made the roster. The Mariners have Jay Bruce, Edwin Encarnacion, and Ryon Healy in the first base and dh spots as well. Unless Seager goes on the injury list Healy could start the season in Tacoma. The Mariners could trade one of the three guys as well. We will have to see.
Anyway the next few days will be interesting for sure.
