The Seattle U Redhawks secured a decisive victory against the Washington State Cougars, winning 69-55 at Climate Pledge Arena. This matchup showcased the contrasting fortunes of both teams, highlighting Seattle's strong home record of 12-3 compared to Washington State's away record of 6-9. Seattle's performance at home has been particularly impressive, with an 8-2 record in their last ten games, although they recently suffered a loss to the San Francisco Dons on December 29, 2025, with a score of 59-67. Prior to that, they had been on a solid run, winning four out of their last five games and averaging 78.8 points scored while allowing 67.8 points during that stretch.

Their recent form includes a victory against the Portland Pilots on December 28, 2025, where they won 67-62. However, their overall scoring average of 75.7 points per game, paired with an average of 74.7 points allowed, indicates a more vulnerable defense compared to Seattle's.
The Redhawks' home record stands at 5-1 in their last six home games, while the Cougars have struggled with a 3-3 record in their away games. This fixture was particularly significant as it marked a chance for Seattle to assert their dominance at home against a Washington State team that has been inconsistent on the road.
