Washington basketball had all the talent in place to compete for the Pac-12 championship, and before the season started they were expected to finish inside the top three at the very least.
Things started to go downhill when sophomore guard Quade Green was declared academically ineligible for the remaining Pac-12 schedule. Green was the Huskies’ third-leading scorer at the time averaging 11.6 points per game, and was the team’s leader with 5.3 assists per night. The loss clearly hurt the team, and the team was never able to recover.
Standout freshman Isaiah Stewart lived up to all the hype.
