By Joe Chambers
Seattle Basketball looks to go 2-0 as they go to Pullman, Washington to take on the Cougars of Washington State. How can the Redhawks pull off the upset?
The Redhawks of Seattle University travel to Washington State to take on the Cougars on Thursday night. What looks like to be a tough match-up for the Redhawks, Seattle plans on using being the underdog as an advantage. Seattle Basketball had a good showing in their first official game on Tuesday night against Pacific Lutheran. They beat the Lutes 98-64.
The key performer in the Redhawk’s first game was Terrell Brown. He finished the game with 16 points, nine assists, eight rebounds (all defensive), and shot 80% (8-10) from the field. Brown played 21 minutes in their game against the Lutes and only turned the ball over two times. Pretty impressive stat for Brown. The Redhawks are going to need Brown to be a key play-maker this year and create opportunities to score for not only himself but for others on the court.
The Redhawks were red-hot (no pun intended) from the field. As a team, they shot 56.7% from the field (38-67). They also shot 28.5% from 3 point land as well (8-28). When the Redhawks play teams like Washington State, they are going to need to be able to knock down key shots so they are not playing catch-up. When you start to play catch-up, you lose your rhythm and start to force shots that could’ve gotten a better look and maybe didn’t make the extra pass that could’ve helped get you back on the right track. Here are some keys to help the Redhawks get a win against Washington State
