The University of Washington Huskies men’s basketball team is set to face off against San Diego State, last season’s NCAA Tournament runner-up, in a highly anticipated matchup. The game will take place on November 15th at the Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.
The Huskies are coming off a strong season, finishing with a 20-12 record and making it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. They have a talented roster, led by senior guard Quade Green, who averaged 15.7 points and 4.3 assists per game last season. The Huskies also have a strong frontcourt, featuring forwards Jaden McDaniels and Isaiah Stewart, both of whom are projected to be first-round picks in the 2020 NBA Draft.
The Aztecs are no slouches either. They finished last season with a 30-2 record and made it all the way to the NCAA Tournament Championship Game before falling to Virginia. They return most of their core from last season, including star guard Malachi Flynn, who averaged 17.6 points and 5.1 assists per game last season.
This matchup should be an exciting one for both teams. The Huskies will be looking to prove that they can compete with one of the best teams in the country, while the Aztecs will be looking to show that they can still be a force to be reckoned with despite losing some key players from last season. It should be an entertaining game for fans of both teams, as well as college basketball fans in general.
