Monday's game with UW will be on ROOT SportsTV (FSN, remember?)

7:00 PM

Plenty of questions for the Huskies following their 77-71 victory that felt like a defeat during post-game interviews with players.

--- Why didn't Washington go to greater lengths to exploit its size advantage over the smaller Florida Atlantic?

--- What attributed to UW's 38.1 percent shooting?

--- Will the Huskies continue to struggle at the free throw line where it shot 68.6 percent (24 of 35)?

--- Is C.J. Wilcox Washington's best player?

--- Will the real Darnell Gant please stand up?

--- After a promising debut, why did freshman Tony Wroten Jr. struggle in his second game?

--- Can UW play a game like this next Sunday at Saint Louis and win a game?

I am concerned that if UK puts their mind to it, the Pilots may never get across the half court line in that game. But then, I am not known as an optimist.

Huskies Hand Pilots First Loss of the Season

SEATTLE, Wash. --- The Portland Pilots dropped the final game of the World Vision Classic to the host Washington Huskies, 93-63, Monday night at Alaska Airlines Arena. Sophomore point guard Tim Douglas led the Pilots with 17 points, while sophomore forward Ryan Nicholas just missed his second double-double of the tournament with nine points and 10 rebounds. Senior guard Nemanja Mitrovic was named to the all-tournament team.

The Huskies (3-0) shot a blistering 55 percent from the field and made 12-of-20 from three-point range. The Pilots struggled from the field at 34 percent and were just 4-of-19 from beyond the arc.

Portland was able to gain a 43-38 rebounding advantage, leading to a 17-9 margin in second chance points.

The Huskies closed the first half with an 11-2 run, including a pair of threes by Terrance Ross in the final minute, to take a commanding 43-23 lead at the break. Ross finished with a game-high 24 points, including 6-for-8 from three-point range.

Washington led by as much as 31 points midway through the second half, but Portland used a 9-0 run sparked by seven straight points from Douglas to cut into the deficit. But the Huskies continue to make shots down the stretch to pull away.

Six Huskies reached double figures, including tournament MVP C.J. Wilcox with 17 points.

The Pilots will return to the Chiles Center for their 2011-12 home-opener against the Washington State Cougars on Sunday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and tickets are still available through the Pilot Box Office, ticketmaster.com, and all Ticketmaster outlets.
