Both Colorado and Washington were coming off losses where they missed a free throw in the closing seconds that would’ve put them up 3 and instead lost by a single point. Neither team wanted a repeat of that scenario. A late turnover gave Colorado a chance to get close but UW broke Colorado’s press for a pair of late dunks to secure a 73-63 win over the Buffaloes. Braxton Meah returned from a sprained ankle to lead the way with 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The Huskies improve to 7-2 (1-1) on the season.
Washington got off to a tough start offensively (shocker) as PJ Fuller missed a 3-pointer and the Dawgs turned it over on 3 of their next 4 possessions.
