before the Huskies played and
just before the Cougars game
ended.
The good news all the three teams
won though the Cougars had to
respond not to be upset.
Gonzaga had a good lead built up
in the first time and allowed the
defense be good. The Zags won
78-61.
Gonzaga but up a 15 point lead
in the first half. Braden Huff who
has done it on several occasions
came off the bench to give the
Zags a big lift with 17 points.
The Zags had five players score
in doubles figures. Khalif Battle
who had a good game in the last
game had 16.
Ryan Nembhard had only seven
points for the Zags however had
eight assists. It was significant
having the most assists by a Zag
player in one season.
Gonzaga's will play next Thursday
at home against the San Francisco
Dons. This will be a tough as the
Dons are just ahead of the Zags
by a game.
The Washington Huskies who needed
a win as they have had trouble winning
in the Big Ten. They got off to a
good start and led at halftime by nine
points. They kept the lead in the second
half for a while. Northwestern
got and actually took the lead for
a little while late in the game. The
Huskies were able to go on a 9-0
run to go ahead to stay though
Northwestern still had a shot at
the game.
DJ Davis made a couple foul shots
when time was coming down to
the end. Mekhi Mason made a
couple foul shots too to seal it
for the Huskies. Davis came off
the bench to score 15 points.
Tyler Harris led the Huskies 18
points and Great Osobor had 16
points and led with nine rebounds.
Final Washington 76 Northwestern 71
Next Wednesday the Huskies
play on the road at Ohio State
followed at Penn State on
Saturday. Though both schools
are not as tough as their football
teams the games for the Huskies
they will have to play well.
Ohio State is 8th in the Big Ten
while Penn State is now in the
cellar. Go Dawgs.
