Narrow Loss By Washington Huskies

The Washington Huskies had to make
another comeback to have a chance 
to beat a very good team in Wisconsin.
The odds 8 against them since they 
had only seven healthy players. The
Badgers beat the Huskies 85-82 after
Washington had to come back from
another double digit deficit.

Freshman Hannes Steinbach led the 
Huskies with 25 points and 16 points.
Most likely the Huskies season has
ended. Steinbach was the Huskies 
best player. He was named third team
in  Big Ten and first team freshmen.
Expect Steinbach not to return since
word is he will likely be a lottery pick
in the NBA. We thank him so much.
One of the best freshmen the Huskies 
have. 

Zoom Diallo had 24 points. Both he 
and Steinbach made ten field goals.
Quimari Peterson had 14 points. A
senior he average nine points. Some 
of the season Peterson did a good 
job coming off the bench then injuries 
happened where he became more 
value. The Huskies will have to see
where they can pick up someone
to take his spot. 

Wesley Yates had only six points 
making one out of  six shots. Had
he made two more shots they may 
have won but I wouldn't li that on
him. Yates and Diallo should be
key players next season going in
as juniors. 

Courtland Muldrew a freshman had 
eight points and playing 31 minutes.
He played limited action being in 18
games.  JJ Mandaquit another freshman 
who missed this game played in 22 games
and average 5.2 a game. He started some
games early on in the season.  Both 
these two could be keys to next year's
team as well if they return.

Having more healthy team next year
will be good. Playing in the Big Ten
isn't easy.  Go Dawgs!
