The Husky basketball team was upset on the road at Portland tonight. Jon Brockman had a great game but Washington was unable to free up Isaiah Thomas. "IT" simply looked like a normal frosh out there this evening going up against Portland's experienced guards. He was in foul trouble most of the second half and fouled at with a little over three minutes left.
Quincey Pondexter disappeared tonight putting up a goose egg on the scoreboard. After all the pre season hype Washington looked a lot like they did last year when they had to depend solely on Brockman. Uw needs to hit from the outside if they are going to be taken seriously this year.
