The Golden Bears have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games. Despite a close loss against Butler with a high-scoring affair that went into double overtime (90-97), they demonstrated resilience and an ability to keep up with intense competition. Their offense was potent, shooting 46 percent from the field and an impressive 41 percent from beyond the arc.

In their more recent match-up against UC San Diego Tritons at Haas Pavilion, they secured a win with strong defensive plays, including five blocks and nine steals which contributed significantly to their victory margin. The team's field goal percentage stood at 48 percent while maintaining an even better three-point shooting percentage of 46 percent.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing as they faced defeat on the road against Ole Miss Rebels despite putting up a decent fight. They shot 42 percent from the field and maintained consistency from three-point range at 33 percent but ultimately fell short as Ole Miss outperformed them across various metrics.

Looking ahead to their game against Washington Huskies, it's crucial for California Golden Bears fans to consider how these past performances might translate on an away court. The venue could play a significant role; Alaska Airlines Arena is known for its energetic crowd which could pose additional challenges for the visiting team.

The Golden Bears will need to leverage their strong points: effective ball distribution (evidenced by high assist numbers), capitalizing on turnovers (points off turnovers have been significant), and maintaining shooting efficiency both inside and outside the perimeter.
