Huskies basketball is back on the radio tonight.

The UW men are looking to snap a three-game skid when they host #17 Purdue.

The Huskies are in the midst of a brutal stretch of their schedule that features five straight games against ranked opponents.

Coverage begins at 6:00 and tipoff is at 6:30 on KPUG.

Meanwhile, Nooksack Valley HS alum Devin Coppinger and the Huskies women are traveling to face Michigan.

 

The Kraken rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 last night.

Jamie Oleksiak and Eeli Tolvanen scored 49 seconds apart in the third period to erase a one-goal deficit and help Seattle rally for the win.

Joey Daccord stopped 31 shots and assisted on Chandler Stephenson’s short-handed goal and Kaapo Kakko added an empty netter as Seattle won for just the second time in seven games. 

It came against a struggling Penguins team that has lost seven of its last eight.

Next up for the Kraken, they’re facing the Winnipeg Jets tomorrow in their last match before heading home.
