Has to be Richard Hamilton for Washington, right?
moving an annual tradition over here this year.

who is the ncaa tournament player who you still despise for what they did to you?

if scottie reynolds asked me for a kleenex, i'd give him a rough paper towel and make him blow his nose with that

Huskies win 75-73. Mason with 20 points including 6 made 3's and Kepnang changed the game with his defense finishing with 14 points and 5 blocks. Also, every now and then I know what I'm talking about:
February 15, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Washington goes scoreless over the final 2:45 of the half to keep from hitting 50 pts in the 1st half for the 1st time since December 2019 against Ball St. Still, UW leads by double digits 47-37.

Mason 16 pts, 4 reb
Osobor 10 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast
Harris 9 pts, 5 reb

So far the answer is YES. Huskies start out 7/7 from 3-point range and are on pace for 130 points. UW leads 28-15 at the under 12 timeout.
Nebraska allows more 3-point shots than anyone in the Big Ten. Average opponent 3-pt shooting in:
Nebraska B1G Wins- 7/31 (22%)
Nebraska B1G Losses- 13/29 (44%)

Pretty simple for UW tonight. Can the Huskies make open perimeter shots? Hasn't been their forte...

It got hairy in the final minutes but UW holds on for the 71-68 win at Minnesota to go to 11-10 (2-8).

Tyler Harris 23 pts, 9/12 FG
Great Osobor 16 pts, 10 reb, 3 stl
February 1, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Washington clinging to a 64-63 lead with 3 minutes left. Dawson Garcia has been dominant in the 2nd half and Osobor has not been good. Pretty clear UW would be way down if Garcia wasn't in foul trouble for most of 1st half.
February 1, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Harris and Mason make consecutive open 3's and suddenly UW up double digits at 40-30 with less than a minute before half. Minnesota calls timeout.
February 1, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Zoom turns it over driving and Minnesota hits a deep 3 and UW's lead is down to 4. Harris missed a tip in that could've had it at 9 before that.
February 1, 2025 at 5:43 PM
Osobor out with 2 fouls and Minnesota immediately gets a pair of and-1's to eliminate UW's 6 point lead.
February 1, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Zoom absolutely clobbered going for a layup and will have 2 free throws after the media timeout. A Mason prayer to beat the shot clock followed by Osobor steal and dunk have UW up 20-16.

Washington's game at Minnesota on Saturday will be only the 2nd time the 2 schools have played. The other? A 68-66 loss in 2018 when Minnesota hit a prayer 3-pointer with 2 seconds left after a no-call travel to get the shot off.
January 30, 2025 at 3:41 PM
Huskies get it to within a single possession in the final minute but UCLA hits the big step back 3 as the shot clock winds down to ice it. Washington loses 65-60 to drop their 6th in a row. Now a full week off before playing at Minnesota in a must win.
January 25, 2025 at 6:19 AM
UCLA calls timeout with the ball and Huskies trailing 52-56 with 2:08 left in the game.
January 25, 2025 at 6:08 AM
2nd game in a row that Osobor gets absolutely clobbered going up for what definitely would've been a dunk. Against Oregon it was upgraded to a flagrant but this time stays a common foul.
January 25, 2025 at 5:06 AM
Not only did Aday Mara not get any ball on his block attempt of a Franck Kepnang dunk but his entire hand hit Kepnang's forearm on the follow through. But it's a no call and the resulting fastbreak results in a foul against UW. SMH.
January 25, 2025 at 4:57 AM
DJ Davis with his 2nd terrible pass in a couple of minutes. This one picked off for an easy fastbreak dunk and UCLA takes the lead on a 9-0 run.
