Huskies, Zags and Cougs Open Up Monday Night

The Washington Huskies beat Colgate 

Monday night  90 to 76. Colgate is

expected to finish third in the Patriot

League.  Not the level of Big Ten but

good basketball though. Congratulations 

Huskies. 

Nikola Dzepina international player led

the Huskies with 27 points and seven 

rbis.  He made 10 out of 17 from the 

field. When the Huskies went on a

12-0 he had  seven points.  We could 

see the Huskies bringing in more

international players though they have

done that in the past.  Gonzaga has been

known for doing so why not join in. 

Might be a good bifes for the Cougars too.

LeJuan Watts who started at one of the

guard spots was next with 22 points.

He primarily made his points from the

foul line going 14 of 16. Not bad at all.

Wesley Yates III who was the Huskies 

only starter last year started this one 

coming off the bench though he played

30 minutes. He scored ten points with

all coming from outside the three point 

line.  The Huskies only used four bench

players in the game.  Next game for them

is next Monday against Mississippi State.

Gonzaga beat Purdue 78 to 72.  The game

was pretty close most of the way. Each half Gonzaga scored three points more then

Purdue. They only led in double digits 

for a very  short time. 

Braden Huff who was hurt in January 

and missed the rest of the season 

led the Zags playing  36 minutes 

and scored 10 points. He shot 4 for 11

in the field. He led with seven rebounds.

David Fogle led the Zags with 22 points

however made six of eighteen from the

field although he made 9 of 10 at the 

foul line.   Next game up for the Zags 

is home against  New Mexico State on

Saturday. Go Zags

The Washington State Cougars weren't 

as lucky as they lost to Davidson 76-61.

Davidson had a good lead at half time

34-22.  The game has been tied at 13-13 

then Davidson went on a 9-0 run to open

it up. 

Jaylen Harrell led the Cougars with 13

points off the bench.  Dominick Robinson 

had 10 points off the bench too. Jamari

Phillips had 11 points the only one who

started and scored in. He didn't shoot

that well going 3 of 12 with two  being

from the three point line. 

Davidson won the game because they

shot well making 54..7 percent from

the field to the Cougars  35.3 percent.

They made seven more three pointers

than the Cougars who took one more 

shot. The difference in the game for

sure. The Cougars shot 20.8 percent 

from  3 point land. The Cougars next

game is also on Saturday at  High Point 

which is in North Carolina. Go Cougs!
