The Washington Huskies men’s basketball team got a big win last night on KPUG.

They beat Montana State 85-61 in Seattle.

The Huskies’ leading scorer Keion Brooks Jr. had a quiet night, managing just 9 points on 2-9 shooting.

But senior center Franck Kepnang scored a game-high 16 points to lead the team.

Washington also got 32 points from their bench.

They now improve to 5-3 ahead of their big matchup against No. 7 Gonzaga on Saturday.

 

Meanwhile, the Huskies’ women’s team stayed perfect as they edged out Montana State 55-50.

Three starters scored in double figures and the Huskies overcame 23 team turnovers to get the close win.

They now sit at 9-0 with a game against No. 21 Washington State coming up on Sunday.

 

Former Mariners pitcher Marco Gonzales spent just two days in Atlanta before getting dealt again.

Gonzales was traded to the Pirates last night just two days after getting sent to Atlanta along with Jared Kelenic.

He was 4-1 with a 5.22 ERA in 10 games last season before getting surgery on his left arm.

He’s expected to be ready by the start of spring training.
