On Thursday, Arizona head coach Adia Barnes talked about how Washington liked to play deep into the shot clock. On Friday, the Huskies went out and proved it. It wasn’t enough to get the upset, though. The 19th-ranked Wildcats used a strong fourth quarter from Cate Reese to defeat UW 61-54.

“I’m happy not happy with us not playing 40 minutes, but happy with the win,” said Arizona head coach Adia Barnes.

While UW is playing at a slightly faster pace than it did last year, it is still ranked No.
