Coach Tia Jackson said in her weekly press conference that she always enjoys Dads and Daughters games at home. Not just because of the large crowds that support the Huskies, but also the memories it sparks of her relationship with her father.

"I'm so bummed. My mom came into town but she came without my dad," Jackson said. "It would have been really special. He's a little bit under the weather. ... It's a great experience. I think dads are so influential on daughters today, and I know mine was; just getting me to believe in myself as a young woman. I think it's a great environment for dads and daughters to see a lot of energy on the floor. A lot of enthusiasm."
