Washington men’s basketball coach Mike Hopkins will return for his seventh season in charge of the Huskies despite four straight years without an NCAA Tournament appearance.
Keeshawn Barthelemy and Jermaine Couisnard each scored 17 points and Oregon had a 19-point lead erased before closing on a 7-0 run to beat Washington State 75-70 in the Pac-12 Tournament.
Oregon State was picked to finish last in the Pac-12 but defied the odds and won the conference tournament for an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
