Washington was one of the Pacific-12’s tougher representatives at the last NCAA tournament. The Huskies burst at the end, after a poor first-half in conference play.
Washington looked really good vs. Pacific. I thought it could be acceptable for Washington if they play at least this well through non-conference play.
The Huskies were better than the Tigers at defense, rebounding, and shooting. Nothing and no one stood out.
The boxscore said four Huskies were in double figures (three Tigers). It was much a team effort by Washington, which is something we say even when wasn’t, but I truly mean it.
One Husky who made a sudden impression was #22. I looked for #22 among their starters, but sophomore forward Shayla Gillmer got 12 minutes off the bench. There’s the standout aspect of this game: 27-14 scoring, 11-7 rebounds from the reserves.
