Now they know what real competition looks like.
For the second straight season, Mike Hopkins and his Washington Huskies got a first-hand look at what a #1 team in the nation looks like. But unlike last season when UW upset Kansas on the road (yeah, yeah ... “neutral site”), there would be no upset this time. Gonzaga defeated Washington 81-79 in Spokane.
Even missing a few key contributors, Gonzaga presented a supreme challenge for the Huskies. The Bulldogs boast the best offense in the nation and had averaged just over 98 points per game coming into it.
