At some point, Washington women’s basketball coach Jody Wynn may look back with fondness on her first game against her mentor Mark Trakh.
Until then, she’ll lament an agonizing slow start Sunday in which UW fell behind by 27 points in the first half and undermined any chance of capturing an upset.
The Huskies pulled within 10 points, but they couldn’t overcome its huge deficit and lost 72-61 in front of 2,368 at Alaska Airlines Arena.
In its previous outing, an 86-69 loss to No. 13 UCLA, the Huskies were undone by a cold-shooting fourth quarter in which they were 0 for 13 on field goals and outscored 24-8.
