The Washington Huskies are just a better team with Franck Kepnang available. It’s a pretty obvious sentiment, but when he’s playing well, it’s a significant addition for a UW team that desperately needs his interior presence. He wasn’t enough to propel UW over UCLA, but the 65-60 loss didn’t come without a fight.
After playing five ranked teams in a row, you’d better hope a cupcake is next. That was not the case for the Huskies, which faced a talented Bruins squad and dropped its sixth straight game. UCLA’s road victory had plenty to do with the hot shooting from beyond the arc, going 9-of-17 with Skyy Clark hitting three in a row to start the game.
