to keep his job as Huskies. The step was
the wrong direction once again. Another
game against the Oregon Ducks they
had a chance to win however the Ducks
won in Eugene 85-80.
Keion Brooks Jr who had his career high
35 points last Saturday had only 15 points
against Oregon. Have to say that is a
major reason Oregon won. The Ducks
leader Jermaine Couisnard had 27 points.
The Huskies had five scorers in double
figures led by Sahvir Wheeler with 16 points.
Braxton Meah had 15 points along with a
team lead 12 rebounds.
The Huskies didn't do well at the three point
line making only four 4 out of 21 while the
Ducks made 8 of 23. Also the Ducks made
more free throws.
The Ducks went on 9-0 run in the first ten
minutes of the game after a few buckets
by each team. The Ducks led by six in the
first half. The first ten minutes of the second
half the Ducks made the lead go out to a
twenty point lead. The Huskies didn't give
up narrowing the Ducks lead to four with
four minutes 10 seconds remaining in the
game. Other words the Huskies outscored
the Ducks by 16 points. The Huskies did a 9-0
run themselves in a period of 74 seconds to
to narrow to four. Moses Wood made a three
pointer to make it a one point Oregon lead.
Oregon win came down to making free throws.
The Huskies play the Beavers on Saturday for
the last time in Pac-12 play in Corvallis. It will
be interesting when the two teams play again.
The Cougars beat the Beavers 64-58 Thursday
night 64-58. The Cougars led by one point at
halftime. Jaylen Wells had a hot night making
six straight three points leading the Cougars
and his career high 24 points. In all the Cougars
made 11 three point shots while Beavers made
only three. The Cougars shot twice as many as
the Beavers to.
The Cougars play Oregon Ducks on Saturday
with the winner taking sole possession of 2nd
place in the Pac-12 conference unless Arizona
loses to Colorado on their home court then
they will be tied with the Sun Devils for first
place. Colorado wins and UCLA wins the loser
would be tied with both of them at third place.
It is tight at the top of the conference.
Next week the Cougars will be home against
California followed by Stanford while the
Huskies will play Stanford followed by California.
The Cougars look in good place in the Pac-12
if they continue to win while the Huskies need
to start winning or the likely end of Coach Hopkins.
The Huskies really need to make March Madness
this year with having a new Director of Athletics
this year. Hopkins has only one year after this
one remaining on his contract. It was a bit of
a surprise he was coming back anyway.
