Huskies and Cougars Lose Round Two

The USC Trojans were favored
to beat the Washington Huskies,
howver, the Huskies made it 
interesting losing 65-61.

The Huskies led in the second 
half by eight points but led it
get it away from them. Terrell
Brown Jr led the Huskies with 
23 points while Emmitt Mathews
had 12 points and Jamal Bey
had 10 points. 

The Huskies would have won
the game had they gotten more
contributions. DaeJon Davis in
his game in his only season at
Washington had no points. 

We know Brown and Davis played
their last games for the Huskies 
we will see who else will. Bey is a senior so likely gone. Nate Roberts 
a redshirtjunior has indicated he 
may go through the portal. Though Roberts hasn't done a lot when it comes to offense his rebounding
 could be an asset tobanother team. We will see who goesand who comes in. The Huskies havethree recruits at this time but will need additional help.

Another question did Mike Hopkins
do enough to keep his job next season.
Most likely since he does have a few
more years left on his contract unless
Syracuse calls. The Huskies will have
to continue improving for Hopkins
to get a new contract if he doesn't
go back to Syracuse. 

The Washington State Cougars lost
to UCLA 75-65. A pretty easy win for 
UCLA though they won by ten.

The Bruins had a 20 point lead before 
the Cougars knocked down some 3-pointers. The first half the Cougars 
had trouble knocking down shots 
behind the line. They figured the only
way for them to beat the Bruins.

UCLA were by Jaime Jacquez Jr.
with 23 points. All but six points 
were in the second half. The Cougars
were led by Andrej Jakimovski with
15 points. Tyrell Roberts had 14.
Michael Flowers didn't have a good
tournament scoring only 8 points.

The season is likely over for both
the Huskies and Cougars unless 
they get into another tournament
besides the NCAA. Arizona, UCLA
and USC are almost locks to make
it. Colorado should make the NCAA
depending on their showing in the
semifinals Friday against Arizona.
