With honoree Isaiah Thomas offering support, Huskies snap skid with convincing win over Colorado

After the emotional halftime ceremony to retire Isaiah Thomas’ jersey, the Huskies ran away from Colorado in the second half.

The Washington men’s basketball team wasn’t going to lose this game.

Not on the night when Husky great Isaiah Thomas returned to Montlake to watch his No. 2 jersey raised to the rafters at Alaska Airlines Arena.

And not with so many UW luminaries, including Lorenzo Romar, Markelle Fultz, Marquese Chriss, Quincy Pondexter and Spencer Hawes in the building.

After the emotional halftime ceremony, the Huskies ran away from Colorado in the second half for an 82-59 victory Saturday night that snapped their three-game losing streak.
