No. 20 Washington never seriously offered much resistance against Tennessee, which handed the Huskies their first defeat 75-62 on Saturday in the Naismith Hall of Fame Classic.
Here are three takeaways from the game.
1. Washington’s offense, particularly the half-court offense needs plenty of work.
Or maybe, this young UW team with four new starters, just need more time together. (Although, a few more performances like this and that excuse will get old.)
The Huskies are loaded with three former McDonald’s All-Americans (Isaiah Stewart, Jaden McDaniels and Quade Green) and burgeoning star Nahziah Carter, but they’ve to yet get in sync on the offensive end.
