Washington seeks 4-0 record vs. Big Sky opponents

Dec 22, 2006 - 4:26 PM Weber St (7-5) at No. 17 Washington (9-1) 10:00 pm EST

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Washington will likely continue to beat up on the Big Sky Conference when it faces Weber State on Friday.

The 17th-ranked Huskies have already taken out Big Sky members, Eastern Washington, Portland State and Sacramento State this season. They are 68-15 all-time against the league.

Washington is coming off a victory over a team from a much higher profile league. The Huskies posted an 88-72 victory over No. 15 Louisiana State on Wednesday.

Spencer Hawes collected season highs of 23 points and 12 rebounds and Jon Brockman added 19 and 14 against the Tigers. Freshman Quincy Pondexter had 15 points and Justin Dentmon added nine assists for the Huskies, who made 8-of-13 3-pointers.

The Wildcats posted back-to-back wins after a 59-57 triumph over Southern Utah on Tuesday. David Patten scored 11 points and Arturas Valeika pulled down 13 boards for Weber State, which dominated in rebounding, 39-17.

This is the first meeting between the two programs.
