Washington defeated the San Diego Toreros 86-69 in a rematch from last season. In that game, San Diego star Isaiah Piniero helped to spark both a resilient San Diego offense and some timely defense to force the Huskies to decide the game with some Jaylen Nowell free throws and a few defensive shutdowns at the end of the game. Tonight’s game started in much the same fashion, but ended in a vastly different way.
The Washington offense erupted in the second half and gave Husky fans a glimpse of what coach Mike Hopkins envisions the UW offense will become.
