Washington basketball kept it close for most of the second half, but another scoring drought helped the Cougars pull away late. The Cougars went six minutes without a point, but the Huskies couldn’t take advantage of it, taking erratic shots, throwing the ball away or dribbling it off their feet. This has been the story of the season, with the Huskies not being able to take advantage of the other team’s struggles, and making mental mistakes.
The Huskies got within four points with 2:07 remaining in the game, but the Cougars outscored the Dawgs 10-2 to end the game.
