SEATTLE -- Washington has shown plenty of flaws in the first season under Mike Hopkins. The Huskies have also shown a knack for figuring out how to win even when it's not the prettiest of performances.
Jaylen Nowell scored 20 points, Noah Dickerson added 12 points, and Washington continued its promising early start to conference play with a 66-56 win over California on Thursday night.
"I didn't think we played well tonight," Hopkins said. "Cal missed fouls shots. Our offense in stretches wasn't good. It reminded me of an early-season game. It didn't feel like there was a flow.
