Huskies Lose Big Time

Thursday  was the last game of the

regular season  for the Washington 

Huskies and the Washington State 

Cougars. Both teams have the Pac-12 

tournament  coming up. The Huskies

likely  won't  play in any post season 

tournament  unless they get hot and

win the Pac-12  tournament.

The Cougars  won the game taking both

this year's  games. The Cougars won 93-84.

TJ Bamba who has been very  hot recently 

had a great night scoring 34 points. The 

Huskies tried man to man after zone but 

couldn't  stop Bamba. The Cougar guard

went 13 for 20 including three  3-pointers

and made all seven of his free throws.

Keion Brooks Jr  led the Huskies  with  22

points. Jamal Bey who has been scoring 

well  recently with 17 points in his last

home game.  We wonder why we  haven't 

seen that from Bey on a regular basis.

The Huskies had five of their six players

score in double figures. Cole Bajema who

has been struggling lately was the only

one not to get double figures with 9 points.

Freshman guard Koren Johnson had 13

points coming off the bench. With Jamal

Bey not coming back next season Koren

Johnson and Keyon Menifield should be

the primary  guards. At this point we don't 

know Keion Brooks Jr will return either.

Also, head coach Mike Hopkins  could be 

seen the door to. 

The Huskies end the season  placing 8th

place in the Pac-12 with 8-12 record. Both  

Colorado and Stanford can tie Washington 

with a win. The Cougars on the other hand  

end the season  with a 11-9 record and sixth place. 

If both Arizona State  and Oregon both lose

then the Cougars would tie for 4th place. If

Utah beats Colorado  they would tie the Cougars.

So four teams could tie for fourth place. Won't 

know who plays who in the tournament until 

Saturday is over.

The Cougars had all five starters score in

double figures. Bamba was the difference 

in the game with his 34 points. 

Let you know how the  tournament will

set up.
