Analysis: Blowing another double-digit lead proves the Huskies need a closer to finish games

This game had it all for Washington – except a win.

The Huskies welcomed a soldout crowd to Alaska Airlines Arena. They received special appearances by UW legends Brandon Roy, Jon Brockman as well as football coach Jimmy Lake. They got a dominant outing from Isaiah Stewart and breakout performance from freshman point guard Marcus Tsohonis.

Washington had No. 8 Oregon on the ropes for 35 minutes and led by 16 points with less than 10 minutes.

But at the end of a 64-61 overtime defeat, the Huskies fell victim to several self-inflicted wounds as well as the last-second heroics from Payton Pritchard.
