Both will start at 8 p.m.
Saturday's game will be the
featured event of Dad's day on

are already sold out and only
slightly over a hundred remain
for the series opener. General

Over the years the Husky-
Beaver hoop warfare has been
an exciting, nip and tuck affair

has won from the Orange 73
times and Oregon State 67.
In the last four seasons, how
