A return home to Seattle and Alaska Airlines Arena takes some of the heat off No. 25 Washington -- in a literal sense.
After trailing wire-to-wire in an 88-66 blowout loss on Friday at No. 11 Auburn, the Huskies' team bus caught fire. Luckily, no one was injured, allowing center Noah Dickerson to joke about the situation on Twitter.
His tweet read, "When (things) couldn't have gotten any worse tonight ..."
Washington (1-1) is back home Monday night, up against an opponent on fire to start the 2018-19 season in its own right. San Diego comes in off a pair of blowout wins to usher in Sam Scholl's first full season as coach.
