Washington looks to win its first Pac-12 game on Saturday afternoon when it welcomes Oregon State to town. The Huskies come into Saturday on a three-game losing streak and winless in conference play. The Huskies have opened up Pac-12 play with losses to Colorado, Utah and Oregon. The three losses have been close, though, as they have lost by 11 combined points. Thursday they were winning late against Oregon, but couldn't finish the job and lost by two. The loss dropped them to 8-6 on the season. The Huskies have been led by Keion Brooks Jr. who is averaging a team-high 20.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.

G #4 Dexter Akanno (13.1 PPG/3.2 RPG/1.3 APG)
F #12 Michael Rataj (6.4 PPG/5.7 RPG/1.5 APG)

F #1 Keion Brooks (20.1 PPG/7.6 RPG/1.5 APG)
C #34 Braxton Meah (3.8 PPG/3.8 RPG/0.1 APG)
A big question for the game: will OSU's Dexter Akanno play? A foot injury put him on the bench against WSU on Thursday night and it proved to be a killer. Is the foot feeling better? The Beavs need Dexter if they want to beat the Huskies today.
