The Huskies outlast Fresno State in a defensive battle, 62-57, while the Gaels ride balanced scoring and strong shooting to a 75-65 victory over Vanderbilt.
ANAHEIM — Washington coach Mike Hopkins got the game he anticipated in their Wooden Legacy semifinal on Wednesday night, and his team survived the defensive battle.
Washington got its last field goal on Franck Kepnang’s dunk with 2:35 left to make it 59-52. Fresno State did not score from the 4-minute mark until Leo Colimerio converted a three-point play with 37 seconds left to get the Bulldogs within 59-55. “We knew coming into this game that it was going to be a rock fight, an old-school rock fight,” Hopkins said. “They pride themselves defensively, they’re tough. They have guys that play multiple positions and Coach Hudson is one of the best defensive coaches in the country. We knew what it was going to be like.”“The first half was a little bit of a struggle offensively for us and then in the second half we got a little wiggle room and we were able to hold on for a hard-fought win,” Hopkins said.
“To be able to play for a championship in the tournament of arguably the greatest coach in any sport ever, and for me to be home and have my mom there for the first time in a long time is pretty special,” Hopkins said.
