The University of Washington Huskies pulled off a huge upset on the road Saturday night, defeating the Michigan State Spartans by a score of 77-67. The Huskies were led by freshman guard Quade Green, who scored a career-high 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting. Green was joined in double figures by Nahziah Carter (14 points) and Jaden McDaniels (12 points).
The Huskies started the game strong, taking a 10-point lead into the half. They then continued their momentum in the second half, outscoring the Spartans by 14 points in the final 20 minutes. The Huskies’ defense was key to their success, as they held Michigan State to just 37.5% shooting from the field and forced 16 turnovers.
The win was a big one for the Huskies, who had lost their last two games. It was also a great way for them to start their Big Ten schedule, as they look to make some noise in the conference this season.
For the Spartans, it was a disappointing loss at home. They were led by Xavier Tillman, who had a team-high 19 points and eight rebounds. The Spartans struggled to find their shooting touch, making just 5-of-20 from beyond the arc.
The Huskies will now look to build on this win as they travel to face Purdue next week. The Spartans will look to bounce back when they host Indiana on Tuesday night.
