It was pretty much inevitable that the Washington Huskies would beat the 364th-ranked Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on opening night of the college basketball season, it was just a matter of by how much and if the Huskies passed the eye test.
Coming into the contest as 34.5-point favorites, Washington covered the spread by taking down Pine Bluff 94-50. As far as how the Huskies looked, they appeared sharp for the most part and showed encouraging balance throughout the lineup.
The Huskies came out the gates strong, but still allowed the lowly Golden Lions to stay within 10 points for the first 12 minutes of the first half.
