1st Round
N.I.T Preseason Tip-Off - Madison Square Garden
The Season OpenerWashington vs
Kentucky
Freshman Center Kyle Wiltjer lived up to all the hype surrounding him, as he scored 24 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and had 6 assist. While he did turn the ball over 4 times, that was largely due to some excellent on-ball defense from the Huskies.
Fellow freshman Marquis Teague looked every bit the future lottery pick yesterday, but today he may have been more impressive. Teague slogged through a tough night shooting from the field (just 4 of 7) but still managed to score 10 points and dished 9 assist.
For the Huskies it was a tough night. Star freshman point guard Tony Wroten had a very disappointing night. Wroten finished the game with just 13 points after hitting just 2 of 14 shots from the field (0-of-4 from three-point range). But went (9 - 10) from the free throw line.
Washington hit just 15 of 46 shots from the field (33.5 percent) on the night. Not a great night for Lorenzo Romar’s squad.Missouri vs
