Coming off a 3 week COVID pause it was predictable that the Huskies would be a little rusty to start out the game. They were that and then some. Fortunately Hop must have given one heckuva halftime speech as Washington started the 2nd period on a 20-2 run which saw them take control and never relinquish it during a 64-56 win over Seattle U. Emmitt Matthews Jr.’s 17 point, 11 rebound double double helped propel Washington to the win. The Dawgs improve to 5-4 on the season while Seattle falls to 8-4.
On UW’s first possession Daejon Davis missed a wild 3 but seemingly redeemed himself jumping the passing lane for a steal and a transition opportunity.
