As most already know, Tacoma native Emmitt Matthews Jr. came back home to play in front of family and friends after spending 3 years at West Virginia. Matthews was widely known as a defensive stopper at WVU but was also no stranger to scoring the ball when needed. His freshman year, Matthews went off for 28 points and 8 boards in a Big 12 Tourney victory over Texas Tech. Matthews also scored in double digits 30 times during his time at West Virginia but that wasn’t his main responsibility.
This season for the Washington Huskies, Emmitt Matthews has been an integral part of the rotation joining fellow Seattle Transfers in Terrell Brown Jr.
