They say “It’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish”. Except in Washington’s case tonight that was amended to “It’s not about how you did in the middle but about how you started and finished” as they sandwiched 19-10 and 17-4 runs getting outscored by 13 in the middle portion of the game. Still, it was enough as Terrell Brown Jr. had 18 of his 21 points in the 2nd half and Washington won by a 64-55 margin. The Huskies improve to 7-7 (2-2) on the season while Cal drops to 9-8 (2-4).
With Cal missing their starting point guard the Husky defense was able to fluster the Bears early.
