Washington head coach Mike Hopkins called a timeout just 30 seconds into the second half of Saturday’s gamer against Arizona State.
His frustration at the opening sequence was palpable. After going into the break trailing by nine points, the Huskies opened the second half by turning the ball over and then allowing a second-chance layup at the other end.
The sequence summed up much of UW’s night during a 75-63 loss to Arizona State on Saturday. The defeat snapped the Huskies’ 12-game winning streak and also marked their first loss in Pac-12 play.
Hopkins was animated during the timeout, pounding his arm across his chest as he yelled at the personnel standing in a circle around him.
