UW Huskies can’t finish (again), blowing second-half lead in loss to Arizona Wildcats

By now the script has become all too familiar for the Huskies and their disgruntled fans.

Washington plays hard for 30 or so minutes and builds a sizable lead in the second half only to give it all back and fall spectacularly in the final minutes.

It happened again Thursday night.

This time, the Huskies blew a nine-point lead and fell 75-72 to Arizona in a game in which UW had plenty of chances at the end.

The Wildcats took the lead for good after Jemarl Baker Jr. drained a three-pointer with 45 seconds left.
