The Matchup
Washington and UC San Diego square off for the second time ever on Tuesday night. The prior contest went the Huskies' way in a 77-53 victory at Alaska Airlines Arena on Dec. 30, 1991. The Tritons have lost two straight after winning their first four games of the season. They are 0-1 on the road after falling to Seattle U on Sunday. UW is 42-5 all-time agaisnt Big West opponents and 2-1 at home this season.
Last Time Out
Washington scored 15 of the last 20 points in regulation but ultimately fell to San Diego State 100-97 in overtime in the Continental Tire Main Event championship game. Keion Brooks Jr. scored eight of his 22 points in overtime, Sahvir Wheeler finished with 19 points and six assists, and Moses Wood added 18 points. Paul Mulcahy had 11 points and tied his career-high with 13 of the Huskies' 27 assists - their most since recording 30 against California on February 10, 2011. 13 assists are also tied for fifth-most by a Husky in a single game.
Top Dawgs
Keion Brooks Jr. is averaging 23.0 points per game, which ranks first in the Pac-12 and seventh nationally. Paul Mulcahy and Sahvir Wheeler both rank in the top-five in the Pac-12 in assists per game. Only one other Power-5 team in the country has two top-five assists leaders (Kansas). Wheeler is the active DI leader in assists (675).
The Returners
UW is one of three Pac-12 teams to return multiple All-Conference honorees, behind only USC. Preseason first-team All-Conference choice Keion Brooks Jr. headlines the core of returners as the leading returning scorer in the entire Pac-12. He averaged 17.7 points and 6.7 rebounds to earn Second Team All-Pac-12 honors. Braxton Meah is back for another season in purple and gold after shooting over 70 percent in 2022-23 to lead the league and set a new single-season Husky record. He was selected to the All-Defensive team after averaging 1.6 blocks per game.
Koren Johnson enters his sophomore season following a stellar freshman campaign in which he racked up 34 steals, which were tied for second on the team. Franck Kepnang adds depth to the frontcourt after missing the majority of the 2022-23 season due to injury.
The Newcomers
Kentucky grad transfer Sahvir Wheeler highlights an experienced group of newcomers. Wheeler twice led the SEC in assists, both times ranking in the top five in the NCAA with over six helpers per game.
Wilhelm Breidenbach (Nebraska), Nate Calmese (Lamar), Anthony Holland (Fresno State) Paul Mulcahy (Rutgers) and Moses Wood (Portland) also arrived in Seattle via the transfer portal. Four-star guard Wesley Yates III headlines the freshman class of four.
Signing Day
Head Coach Mike Hopkins and the Huskies signed four-star guard Casmir Chavis to a letter of intent on National Signing Day Wednesday, the Huskies' first commit in the 2024 class.

New LED lights will not only greatly enhance gameday energy and the fan experience, but the technology also supports UW's focus on sustainability. Complete with instant on/off and color takeover capabilities, new LED lighting will enhance team entrances and create other special moments in the arena.
The Huskies will also be playing on a new surface with a redesigned court.
