Seahawks, Cougars men's basketball and Huskies men's basketball end year with loss

The Seahawks had the opportunity to

win Sunday against the Pittsburgh

Steelers although the defense didn't

play well once again.

Final Steelers 30 Seahawks 23

The Seahawks offense played good 

for the most part especially in the 

first half. They had two touchdowns 

in the first half though were behind 17-14.

The Seahawks were able to make three 

field goals in the second half. The offense 

made a critical mistake in the fourth 

quarter fumbling the ball deep in their 

side of the field. Fortunately the Steelers

kicked a field goal still giving the Seahawks a 

chance.  The Seahawks scored final 

field goal with 2:30 left in the game.

An onside kick they were not able to cover.

A critical first down by the Steelers sealed

the Seahawks fate.

Though the fumble had a lot to do with 

the loss the Steelers two running backs

combined for 197 yards rushing and

scored their three touchdowns. Most

teams won't win allowing 197 yards

on the ground. The Seahawks will

need to bring in some players next

season to improve the defense.

The Colorado Buffaloes were able

to beat the Cougars Sunday afternoon

74-67.  The Cougars were able to make

adjustments in the second half but not

enough to overcome a ten point deficit 

at halftime. The Cougars had three 

players in double figures led by Andrej

Jakimovski with 19 points. He usually

rebounds well however only one in

the game. Isaac Jones and Oscar Cluff  

coming off the bench each had 16 points.

The Cougars actually made more shots

from the field the difference in the game 

the Buffaloes made 22 while the Cougars

made six from the foul line.

The Huskies played well in the first

half leading by 11points at halftime.

The Huskies bench did well in the

first half but not so much after that.

Utah made adjustments at halftime 

to go on and win. The Huskies did

well in the first seven minutes of

the second. Each time Utah was able

to get closer the Huskies were able

to respond however eventually they

took the lead and that was it.

Final Utah 95 Washington 90 

Keion Brooks Jr led the Huskies with

25 points. Korean Johnson had 17 and

Wilhelm Breidenbach had 15 off the

bench. Most of their points were in

the bench. Breidenbach played a lot

since Braxton Meah got in foul trouble

early. Right now Breidenbach will play

a lotbif Meah keeps getting into foul

trouble.  Maybe Coach Hopkins needs

to start Breidenbach instead and have

Meah coming off the bench. My 

opinion this will likely be Coach Hopkins

as Huskies head coach. Huskies have

talent and experience however his

teams always have trouble getting 

going scoring early or if they do so

it doesn't last. 

The Huskies will have to do better this

next week against Oregon and Oregon

State. The Ducks have gotten off to a

good start . I see the Huskies  being 

1-3 after next week. Most likely the

same for the Cougars. Both beating

the Beavers. 

The Sugar Bowl is Monday evening.

I expect the Huskies football team

will have better fate than the basketball

team. Whatever happens they have had

a historic season. Go Dawgs!
