The Huskies won a game! The men’s basketball team from the University of Washington played a 40-minute basketball game against an opponent from the Pac-12 and finished with more points than the opposition. Yes, after losing nine straight and 13 of 15, this singular achievement is news.
Before the win, UW had the same game they’ve had about ten times before against Stanford. They f ought hard early, entered halftime with the lead (37-35), kept it close into the second half, and then completely forgot how to put the ball through the basket. This time, it came in the form of a 21-5 Stanford run over a 14-minute stretch.
