  "account": "In a decisive 77-64 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Monday, the Washington Huskies basketball team demonstrated their upcoming style of play under head coach Danny Sprinkle's third season. The team shattered the previous program record by making 17 three-pointers, while also setting a new mark with 50 attempts during the game. Davidson transfer Parker Friedrichsen and Gonzaga transfer Steele Venters were tied for the top spot with five successful threes each, with San Francisco transfer Ryan Beasley contributing four, and Nevada transfer Tayshawn Comer adding two. Sprinkle expressed his optimism, stating that all 17 of their three-pointers were made, and hinted that the team could have shot even more. He reassured the team that passing up three-pointers is not an option, as they'll need to continue shooting from long range. Following their impressive performance, Sprinkle reiterated his desire for the team to take 30 or more three-pointers per game as they head to Utah.",
