After a literal bus fire of a time in Alabama, the Coach Hopkins squad returned to Alaska Airlines Arena and defeated the San Diego Toreros, 66-63. UW improved to 2-1 on the season while USD dropped to 2-1.
The Huskies started off the game sluggish yet again. This time, they did not score a field goal in the first four minutes of the game and mustered just 2 points off of free throws. The game was rugged from the start as the Huskies struggled to find a rhythm and allowed USD to start 6-7 from the floor.
