With a completely new look roster the Huskies hoped they could turn the corner in a make or break 5th year for Mike Hopkins. Instead Washington was plagued by many of the same issues that have doomed them in recent seasons. The Husky offense couldn’t make a shot while Northern Illinois couldn’t miss from deep as the Dawgs fell 71-64 to Northern Illinois as 18 point favorites. Nate Roberts (10 points, 19 rebounds) and Terrell Brown (22 points, 5 rebounds) tried to keep UW in the game but they got absolutely no help from their teammates who were a combined 8/45 from the floor.
