Dates and times for these games are yet to be determined.
Big Ten basketball teams regularly used to play the University of Washington in Seattle, coming in for a pair of non-conference games on consecutive nights, preferably on Friday and Saturday, more often than not bringing out overflow crowds.
The 6-foot-4 Mount from a farm in Lebanon, Indiana, was the first high school basketball player to land on the cover of Sports Illustrated and such a prolific scorer everyone had to get a look at him. He had averaged 33 points per game in each of his last two prep seasons and 35 ppg for the Boilermakers freshman team.
Purdue hasn't been back to Montlake since, but that's about to change this coming season -- when the Huskies join the Big Ten and host Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Northwestern, Rutgers and the Boilermakers in conference outings. Dates and times are to be determined. The UW hasn't faced a Big Ten team since losing to Minnesota 68-66 in the 2018 Vancouver Showcase in that B.C. city and hasn't hosted one since beating Northwestern 76-55 in an NIT game held in Seattle in 2012.The year before Rick Mount's visit, the Huskies played four games against Big Ten teams that season, beating Iowa 76-55 and losing to the Hawkeyes 66-50 in Seattle, losing at Purdue 85-70 and edging Indiana 81-79 in the Far West Classic in Portland.
