On most nights, the Washington Huskies will have a size advantage in the post due to its super-sized roster that includes a six players who are at least 6-foot-9.
Despite the presence of star freshmen forwards Isaiah Stewart and Jaden McDaniels, the Huskies (11-4, 1-1 Pac-12) haven’t always played like the bigger team.
But all that changed Sunday when Washington blocked 12 shots and held USC to just 20% shooting on field goals during a runaway 72-40 victory at Alaska Airlines Arena.
“We were showing our length and people felt our size for the first time in a long time,” coach Mike Hopkins said.
