SEATTLE— In their first home event this season, the Huskies will be looking for a backyard victory in back-to-back home tournaments, starting with the Pac-12 North Tournament on April 5th and 6th. This weekend will be the first time the Huskies have played at home all season. On Friday, the Huskies take on No. 12 ASU at 1:00 p.m. and No. 2 Stanford at 3:00 p.m. On Saturday, the Huskies vie against No. 7 California at 1:00 p.m. and then Oregon at 4:00 p.m.
With one of the most demanding schedules in the country, the Huskies have competed against twelve ranked teams in the first half of the season, all on the road. The Huskies will take on three more ranked opponents this weekend, potentially bolstering their resume as they look to make a push for a NCAA Championship berth.
The Pac-12 North Tournament is the season’s second “conference tournament” for the Dawgs. They competed in the Pac-12 South Tournament in Tempe, Arizona, earlier this season. The Pac-12 has seven teams ranked inside the top 20.
