In the first chance for the Husky faithful to see the new look Washington men’s basketball team in person, the Dawgs showed out and were able to coast to an 87-63 victory over Western Washington in a home exhibition contest.
Washington took no time in seizing control of the game although the offense needed a little while to get going. At the under 16 timeout Hameir Wright led the Huskies in scoring with 4 points for a 6-2 lead.
The Husky defense led by Jaden McDaniels terrorized Western and the Vikings really struggled to get off a shot against UW's length.
