January 17, 2023 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE – Washington (11-8, 3-5 Pac-12) has a two-state road trip on tap for this week beginning with a visit to Colorado on Thursday at 6 p.m. PT. The Huskies are coming off of a two-win homestand which featured a win over Stanford and an overtime win over Cal at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Dave Pasch and Corey Williams have the call Thursday on ESPNU while Tony Castricone and Jason Hamilton will call the action on the Husky Sports Network, and locally on Sports Radio KJR-AM 950.
The Matchup
This is the 35th matchup between the Huskies and Buffaloes. Washington won the first matchup of 2022-23 with a 73-63 win at home in December. UW has now won three of the last four in the series. CU is 8-1 at home this season and the Huskies have not won in Boulder since 2019 (0-2). The two teams split the 2021-22 season series with the Buffaloes winning their home game 78-64.
Last Time Out
Keion Brooks Jr. finished with 26 points, Noah Williams scored a season-high 22 and Washington rallied to beat California 81-78 in overtime on Saturday. The Huskies forced overtime with a 6-0 run to end the second half. Brooks made two free throws with 2:23 left, Williams hit a jumper at the 1:21 mark and Brooks scored with 12 seconds left to force the extra period tied at 63. The win was the 100th for Mike Hopkins as a head coach, including four wins at Syracuse as interim head coach. Game Recap
Accolades
Koren Johnson was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week following career-highs of 15 points and three steals in both wins over Stanford and Cal. The guard shot 70% (7-10) from three-point range and 56% (9-16) from the floor in the two games combined. He is the first Husky to be named Freshman of the Week since Jaden McDaniels in March of 2020.
