As the Washington Huskies prepare to host their state rivals, the Washington State Cougars, at Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Huskies have been showing a strong performance trend in their recent games, which should give them confidence heading into this matchup.

In their last game against Eastern Washington Eagles, the Huskies secured a victory with 73 points over the Eagles' 66. Their ability to convert from inside the paint was notable as they made 47 percent of their two-point attempts and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 14 points off them. Despite an equal number of total turnovers (14), they managed an impressive second-chance point tally of 16.

The previous away game saw an even more remarkable offensive display as they hit triple digits in a nail-biting double-overtime win against Seattle Redhawks with a scoreline of 100-99. The team's shooting accuracy was on point with a field goal percentage of 55 and an exceptional assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 1.8.

Against Gonzaga Bulldogs, ranked seventh at that time, the Huskies pulled off another win with a score of 78-73. They showed resilience by overcoming turnovers and maintaining efficiency from both free throws (84 percent) and field goals (46 percent). Their defensive prowess was also evident as they blocked six shots and limited personal fouls to just thirteen.

These past performances suggest that the Huskies are finding ways to win through high-scoring offenses while managing defensive responsibilities effectively. Fans can expect them to continue this trend against the Cougars.
