Behind 38 points from Kay Felder, Oakland upsets Washington, 97-83

PLAYER OF THE GAME: The Huskies could not stop Oakland point guard Khalil “Kay” Felder. The 5-foot-9 junior led all scorers with 38 points — a career high — and his successful dribble penetration also resulted in nine assists and made it nearly impossible for UW to put together any kind of meaningful run. Felder also played 35 minutes despite leaving the game briefly due to an apparent rolled ankle.

IT WAS OVER WHEN: UW put together an early second-half run to trim Oakland’s lead to 65-55, but Golden Grizzlies guard Montez Walker responded by scoring eight points in three possessions to push Oakland’s lead to 18, and the Huskies never really threatened after that.

QUOTABLE: “I know we have some good guards in our league, but I just don’t know if we’ll play against anybody else like that.” — Lorenzo Romar on Felder

STAT OF THE GAME: Despite the outcome, the Huskies finished with a nearly 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio — 23 assists, 12 turnovers.

WHAT IT MEANS: Yet another home loss to a mid-major opponent for the Huskies, who have now experienced such defeats in five consecutive seasons. Oakland, though, might be a little different. The Golden Grizzlies score 86 points per game and Felder looks like one of the best all-around point guards in the nation. Still, a 14-point home loss to a Horizon League team is somewhat alarming, especially considering how easy it was for Oakland to score.

UP NEXT: Seattle University at Washington, 8 p.m. Tuesday (Pac-12 Networks)
