Danny Sprinkle's basketball team has a week until it opens the season.
The University of Washington basketball team newly put together by coach Danny Sprinkle got in a good run on Tuesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena, but as always in an exhibition against a badly overmatched opponent such as Western Oregon, it was hard to tell much of anything about the possibilities for this group.Are people overly curious about these Huskies? Not yet, as indicated by the crowd of fewer than 1,000 people who had their pick of seats.
"The. game got out of hand, but I was proud of the way our guys played," the UW coach said. "I thought they played the right way, they played unselfishly and they shared the basketball. I don't remember too many forced shots." In warmups, Davis, advertised as the team's top shooter, put on a show by repeatedly hitting 10 in a row around the perimeter and then showed he could do with under guard, hitting 5 of 11 shots, 4 of 9 from behind the line, for a team-best 16 points to lead the Huskies.
Christian King, the 6-foot-7 forward from Seattle, the son of former Sonics center Rich King and one of three returning Huskies, looks like he'll be a contributor for the new staff after redshirting and seeing no game action as a freshman for the departed Mike Hopkins' staff. A smooth player, King showed he could shoot from 3-point range and mix it up inside with a tip-in and a putback. He had a 10-point, 8-rebound outing.
