I know it was an exibition, and I know that we have had early success similar to this in the past, but...I guess this is some good news for a bunch of us that haven't had much of that since late Friday!?
Washington men’s basketball team emerged from Sunday’s much-anticipated exhibition against UNLV looking every bit like an upgrade from last season.
If first impressions can be trusted, Steinbach is possibly a budding star who won’t be around Montlake for too long.
Nearly everything came with ease for the 6-foot-11 forward who many believe will be a first-round pick in next year’s NBA draft. He converted 10 of 15 shots for 22 points and collected 16 rebounds — both game highs — in 35 minutes.
In his first UW outing, Mandaquit made the game fun for several Huskies who were the recipient of his 12 assists. If this were an official game, he would have tied for the 11th most assists in a single game in Husky history.
“It’s amazing playing with him,” Steinbach said. “He’s a true point guard. He plays like he’s played in college for some years. It’s very good to play with him. It just makes my job so much easier.”
