No. 22 Washington draws Ball State in latest tourney

Dec 20, 2019 Field Level Media

Though No. 22 Washington has yet to play a true road game this season, it has racked up plenty of frequent-flier miles.

The Huskies (8-2) opened the season at the Armed Forces Classic in Anchorage, Alaska, and later played in the Naismith Hall of Fame Classic in Toronto.

Next up is a trip to Hawaii for three games at the Diamond Head Classic, starting Sunday against Ball State (6-4).

"At the end of the day, Alaska close, Toronto far. Close is good," Washington coach Mike Hopkins told reporters. "It's in a beautiful place. It's close in terms of proximity to where we're playing our opponents for us being on the West (Coast). It's Hawaii. That's exciting to get some vitamin D, and I think will be a really good thing, too. Natural vitamin D! ... I'm going for the SPF 75 shirts and shorts and hats."

The Huskies posted a 6-1 record during their just completed seven-game homestand -- the lone loss an 83-76 decision against then-No. 9 Gonzaga in a game that came down to the final two minutes.

The Huskies rebounded with an 81-59 victory against Seattle University on Tuesday as freshman forward Isaiah Stewart had a game-high 27 points on 11-of-14 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds.

"We got to feed him," Huskies point guard Quade Green said of Stewart. "He's 20 points every game. Just feed him and he's going to make the right decisions."

Green added 20 points, shooting 4 for 5 from 3-point range and 7 of 8 overall.

The Huskies overcame a 33-32 halftime deficit and pulled away in the final nine minutes, with Stewart scoring 11 points during a closing 31-11 run.

"I feel like all it is patience and trusting my teammates and not speeding up," Stewart said. "I know my teammates have my back and they trust me to catch when they throw it in."

Ball State is coming off a 65-47 upset win at Georgia Tech as Jarron Coleman scored a game-high 17 points. The Cardinals used an early 13-0 run to take a 20-8 lead and never allowed their Atlantic Coast Conference opponent to get within 10 points the rest of the way.

"We really played our best game of the year by far on both sides of the ball," Ball State coach James Whitford said. "The visibility of a BCS win is big. In terms of the perception of it and what it means. Our league gets quite a lot of them. It's not that uncommon.

"You don't get that many people that play us, and when you get them, it's a feather in your cap because of the media attention and all the stuff that comes with it. ... You get two or three cracks a year, and when you get one, it's a really good feeling. It's good for the university. It's good for everybody," Whitford said.

The winner of Sunday's game will meet either UTEP or tournament host Hawaii in Monday's second round. Boise State, Houston, Portland and Georgia Tech are also playing in the tournament, with the final round on Christmas Day.

Best offensive half of the season. Not even close.

Great passing. Great ball control. Shooting is a product of the offense being in system.

Ball St. is almost dead last in FT shooting in the country. OFC against the Dawgs they were 9-9 in the half.

Defensive rebounding and not overcommitting needs to get better on D.

Overall great half.

And then they turn into the Seahawks to start the second half and let them right back in the game. My God these Seattle teams are going to take 20 years off of my life.

[D-train]

Ok. Back on track. Now let's crush them.

Better over the last bit.

It's amazing what good defensive rebounding gets you.

[IStillLoveTheMs]

Nice win. Best offensive performance all year.

I think we abandon the zone going forward. As weird as that is to say.

[D-train]

God I needed that. Thank you my Huskies.

That was a nice victory. Eased my pain from the earlier debacle today, too.
Ball State is a devastating 3 pointer shooting team but the tight man-to-man D held the Cardinals to 29% (7-24) while the Huskies buried almost 46%, going 11-24.
Dawgs dished out 18 assists. UW teams from the last 3-4 years were fortunate to get 8-10 assists in a game.
Still need more from the bench.

It would be nice if more players from the bench played lol.

Outside of Bey, 3 other players got a combined 7 minutes.

RaeQuan Battle and Nate Roberts would be my choice to get 10 mins a game... RaeQuan can really stroke it and Roberts is going to do more than Timmins.

Issue is, it doesn't get any easier... we play Hawaii next who is 8-3... don't see much opportunity for play. It took a while for the Huskies to get to the point they're at offensively... and it came at the cost of close games between us and MSM, Maine and Montana that would have provided valuable time for the backups if we had been blowing them out.
