Huskies basketball team’s stay in Vancouver nets them two wins ... and one close loss

The Washington men’s basketball team went 2-1 in the Vancouver Showcase, beating Santa Clara and Texas A&M before falling to Minnesota.

The Huskies opened with a 82-68 win over Santa Clara on Sunday. Jaylen Nowell was the star of the game, scoring a career-high 32 points on 11-of-15 shooting from the field. He added four rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Nowell was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for that performance and his 18-point showing against San Diego. He averaged 25 points in the two victories.

UW then beat Texas A&M, 71-67, in a back-and-forth contest on Tuesday night.
