Washington Game Notes
| Oregon State Game Notes
The first weekend series of the second-half of Pac-12s comes to a close on Saturday when Washington hosts Oregon State at 2 p.m. The game will be one of the dates the Huskies participate in the annual "Think Pink" promotion to raise awareness for breast cancer. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game.
The Beavers come in winners of their last five games, the last a thorough 51-39 win at Washington State. A win at UW would give OSU its longest winning streak since the 1994-95 season.
Washington, meanwhile, has won its last two games after holding off a plucky Oregon squad, 72-69, to begin the weekend. Jazmine Davis led all scorers with 27 points.
Broadcast/Media
For regular season and postseason games, 13-year veteran Steve Sandmeyer handles all play-by-play duties for the Washington Huskies - both home and away - on KKNW 1150AM. Sandmeyer is once again joined by color analyst (and former UW letterwinner) Elise Woodward for home games.
The game will also be broadcast live by UWTV. Michael Preston will provide the play-by-play, and former Husky letterwinner Liz Lay will add the color commentary. A live stream of the broadcast is available on GoHuskies for a small fee.
Live stats for the game will be available on GameTracker. Fans can also participate in an interactive chat during the game on gohuskies.com.
