      Good to see the Huskies bounce back. Would have been real easy to roll over after blowing the lead against Stanford.

      Hard to believe they didn’t hit 100 points, considering they had 77 with about 10 minutes to play. Also remarkable the point total considering they only had three guys contributing offensively.

      Lets hope the team stays hot for the show down with the Wildcats.
