The goodwill and optimism the Washington women’s basketball team garnered from its long-suffering fans has seemingly evaporated during another long losing streak that has been the hallmark of the Huskies recently.
Since its promising 10-3 start, Washington has lost nine straight games, including three in overtime.
On Friday night, the Huskies dropped another heartbreaker that resembled so many of their setbacks during the skid.
They fell behind by double digits early, made a run in the second half but ultimately came up short at the end in a 74-65 loss to Utah at Alaska Airlines Arena.
