Osobor’s Double-Double Helps Send UW Past UC Davis In Sprinkle’s Debut
November 05, 2024 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) — Great Osobor scored 15 points and tied a career high grabbing 17 rebounds and Washington rallied late to beat UC Davis 79-73 to usher in the Danny Sprinkle era on Tuesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.
In the season opener for both teams, Washington used a balanced attack with Mekhi Mason scoring 13 points and reserves Zoom Diallo scoring 12 and Wilhelm Breidenbach 10. Franck Kepnang also added 10.
The Aggies' TY Johnson scored a career-high 35 points shooting 10 of 25 and 13 for 16 from the free-throw line.
Washington led 37-33 at halftime before the Aggies seized the lead with a 8-2 start and were up at the 17:52 mark when Leo DeBruhl made a 3-pointer. UC Davis maintained a slim lead until Tyler Harris hit a jumper with 6:03 left to give Washington a 60-58 lead and they never trailed again.
Osobor became the first major conference player with at least 15 points, 17 boards and 6 steals in a game since Blake Griffin in 2008.
Sprinkle arrives at Washington after having spent just a year at Utah State where he helped lead the Aggies to the Mountain West Conference title and an appearance in the round of 32 at the NCAA Tournament.
The Huskies travel to Nevada for a Saturday tilt with the Wolfpack. The game tips off at 7:00 p.m.
