SALT LAKE CITY – Earlier this week, Mike Hopkins revealed a statistic about the Washington Huskies that caused him to grimace.
“In the last five minutes of games in Pac-12 games, teams are shooting 72 percent from the two-point line and 8 for 11 from the three-point line,” the UW coach said. “Those are staggering numbers.”
Hopkins added: “We got to be a little bit tougher. We got to be a little bit greedier. We got to be a little bit more aware, especially at the end of games.”
The Huskies didn’t get the message.
For the second straight game, Washington squandered a double-digit second-half lead and fell 67-66 against Utah at Huntsman Center.
