Washington Returns Home to Host Oregon
February 14, 2023 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE – Two of the most storied matchups in college basketball will be played at Alaska Airlines Arena this week. Washington (13-13, 5-10 Pac-12) faces Oregon for the first time this season and 313th time in history - the second-most games played between two opponents in Division I. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Roxy Bernstein and Dan Dickau have the call on ESPNU while Tony Castricone and Jason Hamilton call the action on the Husky Sports Network, and locally on Sports Radio KJR-AM 950.
The Huskies will wear multiple themed jerseys this week. Wednesday's game is a Black Out and both the team and fans will wear black. The Huskies will don their Black Excellence jerseys for Saturday's contest, marking the second year in a row they have worn themed jerseys during Black History Month.
The Matchup
In a series that dates back to 1903, the Washington-Oregon rivalry is the second-most played series in college basketball history behind Oregon-Oregon State. This is the lone regular season matchup of 2022-23 between the Huskies and Ducks after the two split the home and home last season. 115 of the Huskies' 191 wins against the Ducks have come at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Last Time Out
Washington fell in the opening game of the Boeing Apple Cup Series at rival Washington State 56-51 Saturday night. Noah Williams had 12 points in his return to Pullman to lead all Huskies. Braxton Meah added 11 points and 10 rebounds for his second career double-double. It was the lowest combined score of the Huskies' season. Game recap
League Leaders:
Washington leads the Pac-12 and ranks 12th in the NCAA in blocks per game (5.3). Several Huskies lead the league in offensive statistics. Braxton Meah is first in the Pac-12 in field goal percentage (69.4%); Cole Bajema leads the league in free throw percentage (88.1%) and Keion Brooks Jr. ranks second in scoring.
Milestones:
Jamal Bey passed Darnell Gant for most games played in a Husky uniform when he checked into his 141st game against Arizona. Keion Brooks Jr. scored his 1,000th career point with a first-half three against ASU. Noah Williams eclipsed the 1,000-point mark at USC.
Signing Day
Four-star recruit Wesley Yates III (Beaumont, Texas/Beaumont United) signed a National Letter of Intent on Nov. 16, announcing his commitment to Washington. Yates is the 37th-ranked prospect on ESPN's Top-100. The signing continues the momentum built from last year's class, which includes the No. 1 rated player in the state of Washington, Tyler Linhardt (Seattle, Wash./King's HS) and guard Keyon Menifield Jr. (Mount Morris, Mich./Phoenix [Ariz.] Prep).
Up Next
The Huskies host Oregon State in a rematch of a December loss in Corvallis. Jaylen Nowell will be honored before the game.
