This was a Husky basketball team that badly needed to rebound Monday night against San Diego at Alaska Airline Arena.
That’s because the Huskies needed to bounce back from an 88-66 defeat at Auburn last Friday that didn’t even seem that close, the biggest issue being that the Tigers outrebounded them 41-24, including a 19-3 edge on offensive rebounds.
Mission accomplished. Barely.
The Huskies held their own under the glass, overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half and survived a three-pointer that would have sent the game to overtime, and defeated the Toreros 66-63, improving to 3-1.
