Mike Hopkins talked about it on Monday, how quickly a game can change.
Washington’s head coach reminded his team of that fact after the narrow victory over Division II Seattle Pacific in UW’s second exhibition game. His point was driven home in the Huskies’ 73-55 season-opening win over Western Kentucky on Tuesday.
The Hilltoppers struck first, closing the first half on a 17-0 to claim a 36-27 lead at the break. After halftime, it was UW’s turn. The Huskies scored 13 straight poiints to gain a 40-36 advantage. Point guard David Crisp scored seven points during that stretch.
