It was an ugly game to watch, but the Huskies were able to come away with a dominant win over Saint Peter’s Peacocks on Wednesday night, thanks to a stifling defense led by freshman Akok Akok and a resurgent bench led by freshman guard Jalen Gaffney.
Steals and blocks
According to Jalen Gaffney, Akok treated Saint Peter’s defenders on Wednesday night just like he does his own teammates every day in practice. It’s only fair, right?
“I think he’s blocked everyone in practice at least twice, three times,” Gaffney laughed after a deep breath in.
