3. Washington Huskies (10-4, 1-0 Pac-12) LW: 2
After an inconsistent showing in non-conference play, Washington is off to a strong start to its Pac-12 slate following a dominant performance over rival Washington State.
Thanks to senior guard David Crisp’s season-high scoring output (23 points on 7-for-11 shooting) the Huskies sent WSU back to Pullman with an 18-point loss.
Since being picked to finish third in the conference, the Huskies haven’t quite lived up to their early expectations. But against the Cougars, we were given a look at the UW team fans and experts have been waiting to see.
In addition to Crisp, sophomore guard Jaylen Nowell and senior guard Matisse Thybulle also had themselves a fantastic night.
For Nowell, he finished the contest with 20 points and pulled in eight rebounds, tying sophomore forward Nahziah Carter for the team lead and dished out a team-high five assists.
Thybulle was seemingly flawless on both ends of the floor.
He finished 4-for-4 from the field, with three baskets coming from behind the arc and a perfect 6-for-6 night from the charity stripe. Defensively, he recorded four rebounds, two steals and four blocks.
The Huskies will gear up for their first road test of this young Pac-12 season on Thursday as they head to Salt Lake City to do battle with Utah, who is fresh off a road upset of Arizona State and a close loss to Arizona before taking on Colorado on Saturday.
