Huskies Win Season Opener

The Huskies did what the other

Big Ten schools have done who

played winning the season open.

The same goes for the Ciugs and 

Zags.

The Huskies got off to a good start

early though they let UC Davis stay

in the game. Under Mike Hopkins

the Huskies often started off slow.

The Huskies did let Davis stick

around though. Final Washington 79

UC

The game would have been farther

apart had they shot better from the

foul line. Huskies shot at 55% shots

made. It was right at 50% until late

in the game. Both teams made the

same amount of free throws however

the Huskies took 12 more shots.

Had the Huskies made six more it

would have made more comfortable

ending.

The Huskies played mostly seven 

players all going at least twenty 

minutes. Forward Great Osobor 

in his first game as a Husky led

the team with 15 points and 17

rebounds which is amazing stat.

Most likely he will be the team's

best player.

The Huskies had five players score 

in double figures with three starters

and two reserves. Senior DJ Davis

had only two points late in the game. 

We should see much better the rest

of the season. The Huskies rotation

should be seven though two others

will see OK minutes around fifteen.

This would depend on the opponent

and foul trouble. 

Louis Kortright played fifteen minutes

as the eighth player and Tyler Harris

played well late in the game going

12 minutes and having nine points. 

Both could play additional minutes

going  forward. Kortright had been

hurt during camp so he performs 

well as does Harris more minutes. 

The Huskies will need play better

against Nevada on Saturday 

who beat Sam Houston 91-75

in season opener. Go Dawgs!
