Washington (2-1) plays Santa Clara (0-2) at 5 p.m. Sunday in its first game in the Vancouver Showcase. The Huskies also face Texas A&M and Minnesota in the inaugural tournament.

“With anything that’s new there’s a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out,” UW coach Mike Hopkins said before the season.
