Washington and Washington State Meet in 300th Game

The USI women's basketball team has entered conference play with a solid 8-3 record, having navigated a challenging nonconference schedule that included notable victories and losses to strong teams. Head Coach Rick Stein expressed confidence in the team's defensive capabilities and their readiness to face the challenges ahead as last year's conference champions. Meanwhile, Virginia's women faced a tough matchup against UMES, ultimately winning after a strong second half performance, with Coach Agugua-Hamilton still adjusting player rotations due to injuries. In the Northwest, the Washington Huskies are set to face Washington State in the 300th meeting of their rivalry, building on a strong non-conference home record. Additionally, the University of Minnesota Duluth men's basketball team is preparing for upcoming games against Winona State and Concordia St. Paul after a successful home stand that ended a three-game losing streak. Both UMD and Winona State are positioned competitively as they head into the holiday break.
